OSSIPEE — Area Scout troops are hoping that a laser system can be used to protect Carroll County’s blueberry bushes from birds, bear and deer. But upon hearing their proposal, county commissioners had concerns about safety.

For the past several years, Scouts from Conway, Moultonborough and Tamworth have been maintaining about 2 acres of blueberry bushes on the county field off of County Farm Road, across the street from the Carroll County Jail.
