Local Boy Scout helping Caroline County's official Bird

DENTON A local Boy Scout is participating in a national campaign to bolster the bluebird population in an effort to earn his Eagle Scout ranking.

Trevor Reardon, 15, the son of Howard and Johann Reardon and a member of Denton-based Troop 77, built 18 bluebird nest boxes, which he placed around the grounds of the Caroline Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Denton, and in a bird watching field in Camp Todd near Williston.

Trevor said he still plans to monitor the boxes regularly and clean them out annually.

Way to go, Trevor!
