JACKSON TWP — A soon-to-be Eagle Scout wrapped up painting 93 fire hydrants this Sunday, ending four weekends spent on the service project.

Jaxon Owens, of Troop 403 in Cranberry Township, partnered with the Harmony Fire District for his Eagle Scout project.

Jaxon is a ninth grader at Seneca Valley Intermediate High School.
