Boy Scouts get to work

Newport Beach Eagle Scout Edward Kehoe and 14 Boy Scouts from Newport’s Troop 37 are working together this weekend to remodel a playground at a local YMCA.

Working Saturday and today, the scouts will landscape the playground and build a new swing set at the Central Orange Coast YMCA, 2300 University Drive.

An anonymous donor paid for half of the materials the group needs to fix up the playground, but Kehoe hopes to raise an additional $1,400 to cover the rest of the project.

For more information on how to donate, call Arianna Yanez at (949) 722-3817.
