Geocache Description:

SCOUT - The Eagle Scout Series

This is the first in a series of Boy Scout themed caches.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

I hope you like hiking. You will be doing a lot of that during this series of caches as you work your way toward finding the Eagle Scout Cache. I got an idea for this series after finding the Heart of the Desert cache series and I enjoyed the shape that was made with the placement of caches. But since these caches will be in the moutains, I decided to make them puzzle caches so I could place them whereever I could get to.

SCOUT-Each young boy begins as a Scout. The requirements are simple. To find this cache, find the answers to these questions and then build the coordinates N 39 58.ABC W 111 41.XYZ
