Scout beautifies Concord with butterfly garden

Scout beautifies Concord with butterfly garden

Lindbergh High School freshman Joey Musial recently built a butterfly garden at Concord Elementary School for his Eagle Scout project. At Truman Elementary School, Musial and his classmates in the Program for Exceptionally Gifted Students, or PEGS, visited the school’s butterfly on several occasions during classroom activities. However, when Truman students moved to Concord in 2011, they no longer had access to a butterfly garden. Musial’s project has provided a solution by giving back to the PEGS community while also fulfilling his Eagle project requirement. Musial’s fellow Scouts in Troop 361 from Brentwood assisted, and Tom Krauska — also known as Tom Terrific, the butterfly man — lent his expertise and donated the plants.
