Recordist's notes

One of the citizen acts of the scouts on this "green day", as they call it, was to repair a broken bridge in a small river called Ry d'Hez. This broken bridge was doing lot of problems, as in first obstructions in the river. On this morning, adult scouts try to break the concrete bridge, dating from the fifties. It's a very difficult work, as no machines can come in this isolate place. All work is done with crowbars. Scouts are courageous.
