By the end of the month, the crews will have completed one of the largest youth service projects in National Park Service history. On Tuesday, for example, an Arrowman from the northern portion of the trail traveled to the border between the northern and southern sections — armed with a laminated joke “treaty,” which the Arrowmen signed to ensure his “safe passage” from North to South. The Scouts even held a golden spike ceremony as the Arrowman crossed over.
