Santee's Mast Park is a more enchanting place today, thanks to Girl
Scouts from Troop 6170.
Over the July 25 weekend, the young ladies painted a nature-themed
mural on a bridge support beneath the Carlton Oaks Boulevard bridge.
The Girl Scouts used funds from cookie sales
to pay for the painting supplies. They painted the artwork under the expert guidance
of professional muralist Thom Guerra and troop leader Christy Knight.
The same Girl Scout troop has been beautifying
the park for the past six years. The scouts planted trees during SanTree Fest, and they would routinely replant flowers beneath the park’s
entrance sign until it recently collapsed.
The underpass, which is the transition
between the main park and the Mast Park West recreational trail, has other
murals previously painted by local Boy Scout troops under Guerra's supervision.
