In Plymouth and Carver, along the East Head Pond Trail, is a set of boardwalks with a sign about an Eagle project.
East head Reservoir is within Myles Standish State Forest. The trail starts at the southern end of the water body at the headquarters for the Miles Standish State Forest. There is an information booth there where a stationed ranger can tell you all about the trail and a whole lot more if you choose to stick around.
The trail is flat with little elevation change throughout. The round trip is about 2.5 miles long. The waymark is by the nearest access point from a road. However, I don't believe parking is allowed along the road.
The boardwalks are along the trail as it hugs the edge of the pond. There are two long sections, each about 200 ft long, and two shorter sections each less than 100 ft long. The boardwalk has wood planking with no rails. The sign is located on the easternmost of the boardwalk to the north of it. The text on the sign says:
"Jake Morrison
Eagle Project
Troop 51
2008"
From the fact that the boardwalk is the nearest object, I'm assuming that at least one boardwalk was part of the project.
The troop is likely from Plymouth as I found a web site for a Troop 51 in Manomet, a village of Plymouth.
Name of Eagle Scout: Jake Morrison
Project Completion Date: 01/01/2008
Troop Number: 51
Troop Location: Plymouth, likely
