Wissahickon Creek Cleanup

• Wear a Troop 98 T-shirt (if you have one) and shoes you don't mind getting wet and muddy. You might need to go into the creek to pick up trash.  If you have waders, bring them!

• We will provide gloves and trash bags.

• See THIS GOOGLE MAP which highlights our clean up stretch and parking. Parking is at the GA Athletic Fields parking lot off Morris Road, blue P on the map (by the Carey Stadium - image also shown at the bottom of this page). 

• Adults and siblings are welcome!!

• Pickup is at the same place as drop-off.
