For my Eagle project, I built a retaining wall and two steps
leading to a creek. The project was split into two work days,
each work day lasting 6 hours. Before any physical part of the
project was constructed, I designed the retaining wall and
stairs using computer aided design. I broke down the
construction process into 9 distinct steps in order to make the
building process as straightforward as possible. On the first
day, we cut all the wood to the correct length and cleared the
site for the wall and stairs. Scouts used post hole diggers to
create 5 holes and leveled the site using shovels and a pickaxe.
On the second day, we put the retaining wall into the holes and
used rebars to secure the stairs into the ground. The entire
site was filled with wood chips and gravel was placed on top of
the stairs.
