This cache is in the Timberline District.
Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout requires years of dedication and hard work. In addition to 21 required merit badges, each Scout must complete an extensive service project that he plans, organizes, leads, and manages. On average, each Scout conducts 167 service hours as part of that project. In 2008 alone, that translated to $16 million in service to communities across America.
This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called “Cache to Eagle” that showcases these special contributions.
Pope's Kids Place is a non-profit organization that provides comprehensive and integrated health and social services with a focus on children with special needs. These services ensure families that their children have the opportunity to achieve healthy lives physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.
As shown above, this Eagle Scout project provided a creative solution to the need for barriers between the respite center and the parking area. These "crayons" are not only functional, but they add a bit of fun to the site for the children and families who need Pope's services.
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.” You can join us, and even earn a commemorative patch!
