Geocache Description:

Placed to fulfill the requirements of "The Merit Badge Challenge" by 76-CJ7.


Citizenship in the Community is one of the merit badges that are required for Eagle Scouts. In the process of earning this badge, the Scouts learn about their rights and responsibilities in their local communities. The full list of requirements for this badge are available here; for the purposes of this cache, the relevant requirement is #2, "Do the following: (a) On a map of your community, locate and point out the following: ... (3) Historical or other interesting points." This cache is placed near an important historical location in Hooksett; please take the time while you're here to look around, read the markers and think about the many generations of local residents who are represented here. Please be respectful of the setting. There is plenty of parking along the road (except in winter), please don't drive in to this location. While there are no signs prohibiting it, I wouldn't recommend night caching; I expect the neighbors and the local PD would take a dim view of it.

The cache is a small lock-n-lock; contents start off with a selection of small trinkets, including a collectable "Hooksett 2002 - The Pinnacle" pin that I received directly from a Hooksett legend, Arthur "Bud" Locke, owner of the landmark Pinnacle.

FTF: #1 Batman! Congrats!
