Scouts on litter patrol

Taryn Segal and Ariana Davis hold a trash bag as Annie Heinz (right) picks up rubbish along Scotts Valley Drive on Oct. 24 for Make A Difference Day. Quinn Smith helps out in the background. Scotts Valley Brownie, Junior, Cadette and Senior troops picked up a total of 85 pounds of trash that day. “(It) may not sound like much, but that is about eight cubic yards, which is enough to fill a large dumpster, and that’s quite a lot,” Scotts Valley Public Works Director Ken Anderson said.
