Cole Donaldson's Eagle Scout Project

Donation protected
My name is Cole with Boy Scout Troop 207 in Southeast Georgia. I  am currently working on my Eagle Scout project at Morning Star Youth Estate Center.  I will be building a bridge to complete a historical trail.
      The land has a long and diverse history. Going back to the late 1700s 350 acres of land was granted to Dr, Robert Grant to start a plantation. After the Civil War the plantation changed hands several times. In 1934, then owner, Mr. Woolford gifted the land to the State of Georgia to construct a state park on the site.  
      Morning Star Youth Estate Center was started in 1947 as a way to help "Troubled Youth".  The land was granted by the Georgia Legislature. It has since provided a nice bed to sleep in, a warm meal, and an education to troubled and orphaned youth.
      Through the years, the grounds of the estate have gone through many changes. There is an old trail that leads across the historic two mile tidal creek.  My project is to build a new bridge that crosses the creek. The old bridge was destroyed during a hurricane several years ago and has left the trail unusable.
      This project is a large undertaking.  I have received some of the needed materials with free donations from Home Depot and Coastal Hardware.  Some of the remaining materials needed to complete my project are being provided from other local hardware stores at their cost. All work will be completed by volunteers to include my troop, my band family, and wrestling team.
     I would greatly appreciate any donations you are willing to provide to help fund this construction project that will restore accessibility around the estate.

   
The old bridge is in the distance. The bridge I will build will be much more sturdy, attach to the existing braces, and have handicap  accessible ramps on both ends.
