Boy Scout Troop 34 has been busy this week. They work on a lot of projects on the Old Mission Peninsula, including at our parks and Lighthouse.
They also partner with the Memorial Tree Committee of the Old Mission Peninsula Historical Society. This week found them planting a line of trees along Center Road at Tim Carroll’s historic home.

Below are a few photos of the event. Of course, Tim being Tim, there was a story or two about his childhood growing up on the OMP. We always love Tim’s stories!
In the photo, left to right: Brian Brooks, Tim Carroll, Jim Hall, Stephen Siciliano, Ross Oyer, Greg Snover, Matthew Snover, Aaron Niedecken, Scott Niedecken, Nick Roster, Nash Roster, Cooper Roster and Chad Oyer.
Also, today the Troop was at First Congregational Church selling mulch by the bag or in bulk. I brought home six bags, and at $3.50/bag (large garbage bags), that’s a bargain.
Maybe the weather will warm up some day and I’ll actually be able to plant some things. (It got up to 68 degrees today, so there’s that.)
Don’t worry – if you missed it, the Troop will be selling mulch at the church again next Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to noon, 6105 Center Road.

A NOTE FROM JANE: I started Old Mission Gazette in 2015 because I felt a calling to provide the Old Mission Peninsula community with local news. After decades of writing for newspapers like the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, and magazines like Family Circle and Ladies' Home Journal, I really just wanted to write about my own community where I grew up on a cherry farm and raised my own family. So of course, I started my own newspaper. Because the Gazette is mainly reader-supported, I hope you'll consider tossing a few bucks my way if I mention your event, your business, your organization or your news item, or if you simply love reading about what's happening on the Old Mission Peninsula. Check out the donation page here. Thank you so much for your support. -jb
