The Scouts plan to continue their battery collection efforts through high school, ensuring that their commitment to environmental stewardship remains strong.

Certificates of achievement were presented to the Scouts, acknowledging their dedication and leadership in promoting environmental awareness. The certificates, signed by Matt Woods of the Town of Flower Mound and Keep Flower Mound Beautiful, emphasized the positive changes the Scouts have brought to the community, making it cleaner, safer, and more informed.

In addition to the recognition of the Scouts, the meeting included discussions about upcoming work sessions focused on tree conservation, indicating the commission's ongoing commitment to environmental issues in Flower Mound.
