Justin's Eagle Scout Project

My name is Justin Tong, I am a Life Scout in Troop 1648 (Rancho Penasquitos) working on earning my Eagle Rank. I started my scouting journey as a Cub Scout in 1st grade then bridged into the Boy Scouts in 5th grade.  I have been an active member of the troop and have enjoyed every aspect of it. Throughout the years I have worked on earning ranks, learning many valuable lessons along the way, which has led me to working on earning the final rank of Eagle Scout. For this rank I need to complete a project benefiting the community to demonstrate leadership and planning.

My project is constructing a low 8 foot long bridge that will allow safe access across a drainage brow in Gonzales Canyon. The current makeshift bridge is slowly deteriorating and becoming less and less safe. With the completion of my project I would replace it with a much safer and permanent option. The beneficiary of this project is the City of San Diego and I have been working closely with one of their rangers to ensure the quality and safety of the new bridge. I am asking for donations to help fund the costs of materials (mainly lumber and fastenings). I plan to complete this project before mid August. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
