Community Spirit Shines as Local Scouts Revitalize Mingus Park

The City of Coos Bay has started a cleanup initiative at Mingus Park, centered around the historic WPA Scout Cabin. This effort, which began on April 10, is part of the Adopt-A-Park Pilot Program and involves community volunteers. On April 14, members of the Oregon Trail Council from the Chinook-Wacoma District of Scouts BSA participated. They cleared debris, brush, and ivy from the area. Local Scout troops, including Coquille Troop #314 and Coos Bay Troop #68, also joined the cleanup. The project helped improve the park and encouraged community involvement. Volunteers, including Josh, Logan, and Xavier Simons, as well as Jerry and Elliot Jannsen, were instrumental in the effort. Their participation was documented with a photo inside the cabin, celebrating the success of the project.'
