Local scout group making a difference in their own backyard

LA QUINTA, Calif. (KESQ) - One local scout is working to brighten up the community.

Around 7 a.m. Saturday, 20 volunteers and La Quinta city workers came together behind Point Happy to build a pocket park.

Officials say the project uses Prop 68 funds, aiming to benefit people who ride bikes on the CV Link.

Saturday was phase one of the project, with a second and final phase to be completed by June.
