Troop 235 of the Boy Scouts of America recently completed an addition to the Brad Walker Memorial in Riverside.

Brad Walker was an active member of Scout Troop 235 in Riverside until his death in 1996. It was later decided to honor him by establishing a bench near the end of the walking trail east of Riverside. They were able to add a bench to commemorate Walker after receiving city approval and a donation.

They then felt it would be good to use the memorial funds they had to improve the memorial by constructing a paved walkway up to the bench. The pavers for the path were also donated.

Troop 235 kids also helped with the work, spending three hours laying pavers for the new path.

Gene Fields, a leader in Troop 235, told KCII News that, “It was nice to finally get it all done. It’s been in the works for several years.”

Anyone walking the Riverside trail will now be able to see and walk the memorial path.
