Scout Builds Pedestrian Bridge Max Francis, a member of Boy Scout Troop 20, recently completed his Eagle Scout service project. For his project, Max led the construction of a 28foot-long pedestrian bridge connecting Leg Up Farm’s overflow parking field to its main facility and easing pedestrian traffic between the two areas. Leg Up Farm used the pedestrian bridge for the first time during its 2018 Fall Fest, held on Oct. 13, 2018. Max, a ninth-grader at York Suburban High School, is the son of Steve and Sallie Francis. Troop 20 meets at St. John Lutheran Church in York. The construction mentor was Kevin Inch, owner of Construction by Inch. Additionally, many local businesses, as well as East Manchester Township and many volunteers, helped construct and fund the bridge.
