Scouting has been a major part of our lives for many years. Whether
being a Cub or Boy Scout, a Scout leader, or a committee member, it
was something almost all in our family have participated in.
This geocache is hidden in a park that a few scouts from
Penfield Troop 9 and other troops have completed their Eagle
projects in. Their projects have improved this area on behalf of
the Genesee Land Trust. To learn more about the Genesee Land Trust

To find the 1st set of coordinates for this cache, you must

Boy Scout web site: http://www.scouting.org/ We hope you will take
advantage of this entire trail system. You will even come across a
couple of these Eagle projects on your hike.
