Daniels achieves Eagle Scout
Boy Scout Gabriel Daniels, a senior at Bonny Eagle High School, recently earned the Scouts’ Eagle rank.
Daniels is a member of Troop 349 in Buxton.
“My Eagle Scout service project entailed refurbishing a trail that connects the Buxton Town Hall to Town Farm Park,” Daniels said.
He led a group of pals restoring a hiking trail.
“We made new, wood-burned signs to replace the old weathered ones on the trail. In addition to this, we built a large bridge/walkway to replace the wooden pallets and random wood scraps that were there before it,” Daniels said.
The new construction will allow hikers to cross a stream while avoiding muddy conditions. “This ramp and bridge will also allow the trails to become cross country skiing trails in the winter,” he said.
