Members of Boy Scout Troop 121 of Auburn, Isaac St. Laurent, 11, left, and Kyle Mansur, 12, carry one of more than 70 Christmas trees from a trailer to a discard pile at the Auburn Municipal Garage on Saturday morning. Residents pre-paid $5 (or more, if they wanted to make a donation) for the trees to be picked up at their homes throughout the city on Saturday morning. The Christmas Tree Drive was a fundraiser with all proceeds to be used for programs, camping and activity costs in an effort to keep Scouting fees low.
