The Word On The Streets Of Fayetteville

It’s hard not to notice. Scouts are in the stores, the restaurants, the trails, and even the river.

Chances are if you set foot in Fayetteville this summer, you saw some SummitCorps Scouts wandering around on their day off from building trails, too.

Swirl Ice Cream And Novelty CandySWIRL, an ice cream and novelty candy shop, was swamped with Scouts on the weekends. Darlene Norosky, co-owner of SWIRL, said that she saw many of the same Scouts every Saturday and had been given the honorary title of “mom” by the Scouts.

Vandalian Restaurant

The Vandalian, an eclectic restaurant with a diverse menu, has also seen the Scouts this summer. Erin, one of the servers, has especially noticed them on Saturday mornings for breakfast.
