There are 5 YM who have been working hard on their Eagle Scout projects. Michael Mullins, Guy Ludlow, Noah Sato, Lucas Ashton and Max MacDonald. They all helped or are helping develop a trail at the Historical St. George Sandstone Quarry. (Many ward members have been out on trail helping as well.)
The trail was built as a cooperative effort of the Dixie Encampment Chapter of the Sons of Utah Pioneers, the City of St. George and local businesses along with local scouts from Boy Scout Troop 383. They constructed the two-pillared entry, numerous informative plaques, a stone monument and the trail itself, which is where the scouts put in their efforts.
The quarry site was an important location where blocks of sandstone were chiseled out of the hillside and used to construct numerous local buildings of significant importance such as the Tabernacle, the St. George Temple, the original courthouse and numerous other buildings in St. George.
Dedication of the trail was March 19th and it was covered by St. George News as well as ABC4 news. Here is a link to the article: http://www.good4utah.com/news/local-news/new-trail-takes-hikers-to-pioneer-quarry Our scout troop provided the Flag Ceremony at the Dedication.
