Thank you for sharing this. I am an Eagle Scout and remember making cool pioneering projects with scouts. Now I have a 4 kids and I’m looking at building some outdoor stuff on my new property. I wish I could remember all the skits, pioneering projects and games the scouts play before the meetings. Please share any fun stuff so I can get my kids off the video games!

Quite a departure from what's done by the Scout pioneering staff in the pioneering area of the national jamborees, and what's presented at the Philmont Training Center. However, the bottom line is, whatever works and is safe is okay.

Great project, however, it doesn't look too safe. Diagonal lashing for A-frame isn't very secure, and the anchors is rather insufficient. A 3-2-1 anchor may be more suitable. Additionally, the anchor should be placed further from the main bridge. I didn't build it so I don't know really how safe and tight they are, and I am sure you made this with safety in mind. So I will refrain from anymore comments. Just some advice you may find useful.
