Bobby’s Eagle Scout project performed landscaping at both the Hedgerow Theater and Hedgerow House in Rose Valley. His work in these locations gave the properties a fresh and well-groomed appearance that made them more visually appealing and places the community can be proud of. This project had added significance to Bobby as Hedgerow House was part of his great-grandmother’s homestead, the Hollingsworth Estate. Bobby, a sophomore at Strath Haven High School, is also an honorary student and three sports athletes.
