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.
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!
