Louis’ Eagle project, “Bridge to the Future”, involved redesigning a ceremonial crossing bridge in support of the DuPage AME Girl Scout Troop. The Girl Scout bridging ceremony is a celebration that honors a Girl Scout’s achievements and marks their transition to the next level in Girl Scouting. Louis saw the need to support his sister, as well as the Girl Scout Troop, by reconstructing a bridge for them that would support Brownies through Ambassadors. The requirements for the bridge included versatile railings, safety steps, and collapsible capability to allow them flexibility regarding when and where to set up. Louis wanted to ensure that the bridge was sustainable and future Girl Scouts would have a quality physical bridge as part of the ceremony.
