Scout Troops 411 and 410 both participated in the Adopt-A-Highway cleanup program Monday. Eleven youth (boys and girls) and eight adults covered 2 miles of shoulders along US 2 west of Escanaba. All of the participants put in two and a half hours of service time, which is required for the youth for rank advancements. Assistant Scoutmaster Stacy Bingham has chaired this annual event for 23 years. Adopt-A-Highway is a Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) program designed to help keep the state's highway roadsides clean and attractive. Participants adopt both sides of a section of state highway roadside to clean up over a two-year period. A minimum two-mile stretch of roadway is recommended. Troop 411 is in their 23rd year participating with the Adopt-A-Highway program.
