Geocache Description:

South of Lion's Park & North of the Great Western Trail. A small tupperware container, containing small toys & a bit of scout stuff.

An easy park and grab. The park to the North is used year round to support youth and community activities in Villa Park, IL. To the South is the Great Western Trail, a bike path that extends to the West, eventually joining with the Prairie Path, a Rails-to-Trails conversion. This is one of 12 in the Cache-to-Eagle series the Three Fires Council will be promoting.
Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America 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. This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called Cache to Eagle that showcases these special contributions. The cache resides in Potowatomi Trails District which is part of Three Fires Council in St. Charles, Illinois. Although this cache is not located in close proximity to a known Eagle project within the Potowatomi Trails district, it represents a place holder for 9 Eagle project virtual caches within the district and many more with within the Three Fires Council that can all be referenced here:

Over its first 100 years, Scouting has provided millions of hours of service to communities across America. For our 100th Anniversary, we’re celebrating that legacy with special service opportunities through A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference.
