Boy Scout Troop 31 promoted five scouts to the rank of eagle on May 16
and two days later another member of the troop pitched his Eagle Scout project
to Pennsbury Township supervisors.
The board approved the plan of Marshall Lane to install a 1,500-foot long and
3-foot wide footpath at Johnson’s Wood Preserve. The path will be edged with
wood logs and will include two footbridges, 4 feet wide each.
Marshall said the project will cost about $1,000 and that he already had one sponsor
who will pay half. Supervisors voted 3-0 to approve the project and kick in the
remaining $500.
The project should begin in July.
The scouts promoted earlier in the week are Justin Miller, Tyler Kump, Will Cronin, Sean McCarthy and Dakin Bond.
