Pilot Butte Service Project

Pilot Butte juts some 500 feet above the middle of Bend, Oregon. It is an old dormant cinder cone, and offers spectacular views of Central Oregon and the Cascades, drawing thousands of visitors. Unfortunately, lots of visitors means lots of erosion and lots of litter. Pilot Butte has been the locus of many Troop 21 service projects, including several Eagle projects to assist the State in erosion control. Several scouts from Troop 21 took it upon themselves to assist State Parks in cleaning up Pilot Butte one weekend.

	Meeting early in the parking lot are Aaron Dull, Kevin Brown, and Scott Woods.
	Kevin picks up more garbage along the east side of the butte.
	The scouts work their way up the access road, with downtown Bend, Broken Top, and South Sister (10,500) in the distance.
	Not a bad haul for one pass up the butte.
