Boy Scouts, volunteers install new Toledo HS sign during break
Boy Scouts, volunteers install new Toledo HS sign during break

Toledo High School has a brand new sign at its entrance thanks to the efforts of volunteers and Boy Scouts helping Life Scout Corbin Mansker complete his Eagle Scout project over the break.

Mansker, of Troop 373, in Chehalis, lives locally and says he will be attending Toledo High School as a freshman starting next year. He said the idea to build a new sign for the school was inspired by signage installed at nearby Lewis and Clark State Park, and that such a project falls in line with his desire to someday become a civil engineer.
