congrats to Ovaron on the FTF

Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout in the BSA requires years of dedication & hard work. The scout must complete 21 required merit badges, advance through 7 ranks of increasing difficulty, & serve in 1 or more positions of responsibility for a total of 16 months. Then he must plan and execute a service project consisting on average of 167 service hours. The project must benefit the community or a nonprofit organization. In 2008 alone, Eagle projects translated in to $16 million is service to our communities. ( based on the national volunteer hour value of $19.51 )

In 2010 The Boy Scouts turned 100 years old. The BSA introduced several new merit badges that year. One of them was Geocaching.

On a personal note I am setting up this series as part of my Woodbadge Ticket. Woodbadge is Adult Leader Training that requires a service project that benefits the unit,district, or council that you Volunteer in.

The cache is a small magnetic hide-a-key box with a log sheet only BYOP. Unfortunatly the patch I would have left for the FTF would not fit. I set up a GeoCaching Course at the camp to introduce this wonderful sport to the younger boys in Scouting.
