Geocache Description:

Gerald R. Ford Council's first Treasures of Scouting Cache.

For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has helped youth become more than they ever thought possible. And we'll continue that journey into the next century. The Boy Scout program in the US began in 1910 and currently is open to boys ages 11-18. Boys learn and grow through the experiences of camping, hiking, building projects, and community service. Scouting fosters self-esteem, a sense of value and belonging, a sense of accountability, and teamwork. It's also a lot of fun! The skills learned in Scouting help young men overcome obstacles and challenges with courage and character throughout their lives. Geocaching offers a new opportunity for the Boy Scouts to experience the outdoors while honing their Scouting skills. This cache is placed in honor of all young people in hopes that they will also take this opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.

This cache placement is near the meeting place of Lowell's Boy Scout Troop 102, which was founded in 1942. They meet on Monday evenings, so nearby parking may be at a premium at that time. In addition to Action! Boy Scouts, we will be hiding four other caches highlighting Scouting programs. Find all five! Search GRFC, Treasures of Scouting, on Geocaching.com.
