Boy scouts and Killington Arts Guild team up to improve the pool house

KILLINGTON — Local boy scout troupe 220 and Killington Arts Guild recently joined forces at the Killington’s Johnson Recreation Center pool house to paint a mural. The project was part of a Boy Scouts of America Eagle initiative that student scout Ian Clarke helped to organize.

Clarke’s project was to revitalize the pool house (paint, repair, landscaping, etc.) and included a theme-based mural that engaged both members from the Art Guild and other local students. The outcome was a much-needed face lift for the facility and great community cooperation.
