🌱🛠️ VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Help Pack 1365 Build an Outdoor Learning Garden at LRES! 🛠️🌱
Pack 1365 families, we did it! Thanks in part to the hard work of our Cub Scouts and families who helped clear the heavy center rocks and prepare the soil at the Lake Ridge Elementary School - PWCPS bus loop island, The Home Depot Foundation has officially awarded a $6,751.02 grant to the Lake Ridge Elementary School PTO to help transform the space into an incredible outdoor learning garden! 🎉
Now it’s time to finish what we started—and Pack 1365 is helping lead the charge! 💪
Associates from The Home Depot Store 4604 in Dale City will arrive with tools and building materials, but we need Scouts, parents, siblings, leaders, and friends to help bring this vision to life.
📅 Friday, July 24, 2026
⏰ 8:00 AM–2:00 PM
📍 Lake Ridge Elementary School Central Bus Loop Island
🙌 Come for the whole day or volunteer for a shift!
We’ll be:
🌿 Assembling raised garden beds
🌻 Planting native shrubs, flowers, and trees
Shoveling and spreading fresh topsoil
🌳 Spreading mulch throughout the garden
What to bring: Sturdy closed-toe shoes, work gloves, safety glasses, sun protection, a reusable water bottle, and—if you have them—shovels, rakes, or wheelbarrows labeled with your last name. Pack 1365 Class B shirts are encouraged so we can stand out as a team!
📣 Please RSVP by July 17!
Pack 1365 families can RSVP through Scoutbook: https://advancements.scouting.org/calendar
This is what Scouting is all about: serving our community, working together, and making a lasting difference in the places where our kids learn and grow.
Let’s show LRES, the PTO, and The Home Depot Foundation just how powerful our Pack 1365 community can be! 💙💛
