This cache is placed as a celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America.
It is in honor of the countless men and women who have dedicated themselves and their innumberable hours of service to the young men of the United States of America.
Thank you for your gift. It has not been, nor will it be, a wasted effort.

During a trip to London, an American businessman became lost in the fog. A Scout offered his assistance and the businessman was led to his destination. A tip was offered to the Scout for his service. It was refused.
Impressed by the Scout's attitude, the businessman sought out the founder of the organization.
Shortly after returning to the U.S. he organized the Boy Scouts of America.
