Eagle Scout Troop 49 from Lynnwood, Wash. spent the day cleaning headstones in the Lopez Union Cemetery as part of Robbie Weeks’ scout project on Saturday, May 14.

Weeks has deep roots in the islands through his mother’s side of the family. A few years back, Weeks and his younger brother Alex went to court to have their last names legally changed from Breedun to their mother’s last name of Weeks.

The Weeks family plans to continue the project during their visits to the island until all of the headstones have been cleaned.
