yeah, the bridge project was my final thing and I worked on that for nearly my entire JR and SR years of high school between planning, designing, obtaining the donations and then organizing the weekend we worked on it... looking back it was probably a bigger project than I needed to do for the gold award, but I've checked and the bridge is still there 15 years later being used... as long as the camp doesn't close this year.It was more of a comparison to all of this pinewood derby in Boy Scouts vs. I sold cookies and crafted in Girl Scouts. I dropped out at junior high though, so it may have become more than that.
Scouting was a really important part of my life since neither of my parents were into being outside, it was the only way I had the opportunities for a lot of things I enjoyed like backpacking, kayaking, etc etc etc...
