During May in 2019, my troop and I built a 40 foot long
retaining wall to restore an eroded walking trail that had been
deteriorated by past rains. The trail itself was quite slanted
which made it difficult to walk on for passerby. It would've
certainly been easy for them to trip over and get injured.
Through my Eagle project, that problem has been fixed, as the
retaining wall will keep the trail intact and the wood chips
across the trail will make it easy to walk on. There was much
hard work involved; we had to clean up the area around the trail
to get rid of the shrubs and plants where the wall was to be
built, dig holes wide enough to place the wall's posts in, and
assemble the retaining wall itself, piece by piece.
This project wouldn't have been possible without the help of many
fellow scouts including Jeffrey Davis, Ansh Luthra, Aarnav Rao,
Scott Suplick, Casey Avila, Jean-Luc Herrrera, and Udhav Sharma. The
adults who helped were Alan Avila, Jagath Junutula, Cheryl Davis,
Geoffry Brown, Gary Suplick, my father, and my mother.
