featuring representatives from the City, the Boy Scouts of America, and the Board of Directors of BPG.

Once again, CONGRATS and THANKS to Collin Somerville, Eagle Scout!

Collin Somerville has been an active Boy Scout for the past 11 years. Collin completed this project to benefit his community. Collin decided to build a dog agility course in his town and raised money for supplies.
