Cache to Eagle is a program started by the Boy Scouts to
increase interest in Geocaching. This program is springing up all
over the country. The goal is to Cache to Eagle caches in every
District, of every Council where Boy Scouts is in place.
The caches in this series are to recognize projects boys have
completed in the Mission District of the San Diego-Imperial
Council. Mission District covers from Point Loma to San Carlos,
Tierrasanta to Downtown San Diego. Our Council covers all of San
Diego and Imperial Counties, all the way from the Pacific Coast to
the Arizona border.
Each cache contains one of twelve points of the Boy Scout Law
(to be found inside the top). An explanation of the Boy
Scout Law may be found at

Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venture Scouts and Sea Cadets interested
in earning a special "Cache to Eagle" patch may take note
of which point of the Boy Scout Law is on the top of each cache's
log sheet. To earn the patch, be sure to record which part of
the Scout Law is written on each cache and then fill out the
form

Eagle is the highest rank a Boy Scout can attain. It encompasses
many years of learning about the outdoors, many nights camping, and
teaches abilities to lead others. Built into the program is
community service, which a Scout must plan, coordinate, execute,
and report for their Eagle project.
This cache highlights a project completed by a Life Scout
in Troop 53 from North Park. His project was to landscape both
sides of the north entrance way to the Rosecrans National Cemetery.
The work area is approximately 960 square feet. This included
removing dead plants and weeds, trimming existing plants, planting
new plants, spreading ground cover. He also dug out electrical
boxes that have been covered by dirt. He placed stones behind the
electrical boxes to keep back the dirt. He planted blooming and
non-blooming plants. The blooming plants will bloom during the
month of May in time for Memorial Day, when the cemetery gets its
heaviest traffic. He spent 115 hours planning, coordinating, fund
raising, and managing scouts and volunteers to complete the
task.
Please leave Boy/Cub/Venture Scout/Sea Cadet swag if possible.
