With the help of 45 donors and 25 volunteers, Sevastopol freshman and Troop 1022 Assistant Senior Patrol Leader Ezra Linnan put the final touches on his Eagle Scout project on Thursday. The 100-foot boardwalk through a section of Crossroads at Big Creek will allow people of all abilities to explore a muddy area of the site. The project also includes a boot-washing station so hikers can do their part to not spread invasive species elsewhere. The final touch was a plaque to scouter David Hirn, who passed away earlier this year. Volunteers put in over 100 hours of work into the project while donations surpassed over $3,500. Linnan was appreciative of the support his project received.

While the project is done, the coveted Eagle Scout award is not earned quite yet. Linnan says he still has to earn a couple of merit badges and go through a final review of his project before he achieves Scouting's highest rank.
