Scouts Build New Grundy Forest Bridge




















On Saturday the 21st of March, our Intern from MTSU Airen Mangrum got together with Bear Den scouts from Dunlap (Sequatchie County) and built a bridge on the Grundy Forest Day loop. Their troop, 3133, spent the day hammering away and finished at about 4pm. All day long we had beautiful weather and many hikers come through. Several stopped to thank the boys and told us the bridge had been needed for a long time.

The creek crossing can be sometimes dangerous depending on rainfall. Pictured are (left to right) Intern Airen Mangrum with (scouts) Alexander, Seth,Geratt, Alexander B, and William. Each scout is pictured with their dad who also lended a helping hand.
