The Greater Cleveland Council Boy Scouts of America (est. 1912)
owned and operated it's very first Boy Scout Camp in this area from
1913 to 1962. The 67 acre Camp was first known simply as "The
Reservation" and then renamed "Camp Ye'he'ma" (YAH - HEE- MUH) and
finally renamed "The South Chagrin Scout Reservation". The actual
boundries of the camp were Cannon Road, Arbor lane, Hawthrone
Parkway and the Chagrin River. The camp served as a week long
summer camp to scouts at a cost of $7.00 for the first week and
$5.00 for a second week. Weekend Camping took place all year
around. The property was eventually turned over to the Cleveland
Metroparks as the Greater Cleveland Council who at the time was
operating three other Ohio camps and one High Adventure Base in
Canada. As you hike along keep your eyes peeled for the ruins of
cabins, and other structures that originally belonged to the camp.
You can also use the additional waypoints on this cache page to
locate the ruins of these structures.
Your hike will begin along the Chagrin River, The camp border is
at the top of the ridge This lower part of the ravine was not apart
of the camp but its scenic trail past Squaw Rock is a place that
can't be missed when hiking in this area.
At each stage you are in search of a 1 inch brass tag, these
tags display change coords that will lead you to the next stage.
All eight stages are winter friendly and were not ment to be hard
to find. The challenge of this cache is the hike it is what Scouts
call a day hike. Hiking with a patrol of 12 year olds and this one
will take you all day. Cachers should expect to spend no more than
three hours completing this cache hunt,
