What is Cache to Eagle? Cache to Eagle is a series of public
geocaches hidden at or near the sites of Boy Scout Eagle
projects.
The log book at each cache location has one of the 12 points of
the Boy Scout Law (they are in random order). Once a registered
Scout or Scouter has ALL 12 Cache to Eagle caches within Western
Los Angeles County Council and can relate each point of the scout
law to a cache, e-mail the answer to me thru this website to
receive a Cache to Eagle Patch.
In addition, for every four WLAAC Cache to Eagle caches you
find, you will earn an entry into a drawing for one of the
exclusive, not yet found on Ebay, 2010 Scouting geocoins. Thus, if
you find four caches you one entry. If you find sixteen, you get a
patch and four entries.
Don't worry non-Scouting cachers, we will be placing entry forms
in our caches for your names to be placed in the drawing too.
Patches and coins are available while supplies last, and your
entry will stay active until the coins are all gone.
Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts
ofAmerica requires years of dedication and hard work. In addition
to 21 required merit badges, each Scout must complete a project
that - on average - requires 167 service hours. In 2008 alone, that
translated to $16 million in service (based on the national
volunteer hour value of $19.51).
This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series
called Cache to Eagle, that showcases these special contributions.
It is located at the Sherman Oaks Public Library. This library has
benefited from several Eagle Service Projects. Benches along the
front were installed by two Eagle candidates while another created
and maintained a reading program for underprivileged
children.
This cache is a small magnetic container and is meant for
beginners. It is here to highlight Scouting's commitment to service
and the Eagle project. That being said the hint will be a dead
giveaway. I hope you enjoy it. Please be sure to replace the cache
exactly as you found it to protect it from the eyes of non-caching
visitors.
Check back often, more caches to follow in the coming
months.
