Loyalty has many forms. There is loyalty to one's country or town,
loyalty to family and loyalty to friends. We can serve our country
though the military and by voting, we can serve our community by
keeping it clean and supporting worthwhile projects. But showing
loyalty to our family and friends is something we must deal with
every day. Sticking up for family and friends, being there when a
friend needs you, and helping a friend when he may not know he
needs help, sometimes seem like the most difficult ways to show
loyalty, yet, when you think about it, are the easiest.
The swamp bridge you are walking on is actually the culmination
of two Eagle Service Projects. Part of it was built by Sean Carney
of Troop 8 who is currently a commercial project
superintendent/engineer, and part of it By Adam Baxter Of Troop 8
who is currently involved in IT Networking. Other trail
improvements in the park were done by Jon Todd of Troop 135 who is
currently a software architect in San Francisco, Dustin Partridge
of Troop 8 who finished hiking the Pacific Crest Trail on the west
coast last summer (doing the AT from end to end just wasn't
enough), by Craig Freeman of Troop 135 who is currently web
developer in San Diego, CA. and by Rich Moffitt of Troop 5 who is
currently a computer secuity consultant. Thanks to all of them and
the Scouts who helped, we now enjoy a great trail system in the
park.
