What is Cache to Eagle? Cache to Eagle is a series of public
geocaches hidden at or near the sites of Boy Scout Eagle
projects.
The log book at each cache location has one of the 12 points of
the Boy Scout Law (they are in random order). Once a registered
Scout or Scouter has ALL 12 Cache to Eagle caches within Western
Los Angeles County Council and can relate the point of the scout
law to a cache, e-mail the answer to me thru this website to
receive a Cache to Eagle Patch.
In addition, for every four WLAAC Cache to Eagle caches you
find, you will earn an entry into a drawing for one of the
exclusive, not yet found on Ebay, 2010 Scouting geocoins. Thus, if
you find four caches, you get a patch and one entry. If you find
sixteen, you get a patch and four entries.
Don't worry non-Scouting cachers, we will be placing entry forms
in our caches for your names to be placed in the drawing too.
Patches and coins are available while supplies last, and your
entry will stay active until the coins are all gone.
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. In 2008 alone, that
translated to $16 million in service (based on the national
volunteer hour value of $19.51).
This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called
Cache to Eagle, that showcases these special contributions. The
butterfly garden located in the park by this cache was constructed
during an Eagle Scout service project. This garden was part of an
effort to improve community appearance, invite visitors to the
park, and reduce waste and litter that typically accumulate in
neglected parks.
This cache is a medium tupperware container and is meant for
beginners. It is here to highlight Scouting’s commitment to
service and the Eagle project. That being said the hint will be a
dead giveaway. I hope you enjoy it. Check back often, more caches
to follow in the coming months.
