Geocache Description:

    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 particular project was completed by a scout from a Troop in Erie. It is a environmental education project involving bird houses and info signs about each species.
    PARK NOT OPEN DURING NIGHT HOURS!

    This project provides visitors examples of birds houses for various species and some environmental education. This scout used donations for the project materials. Other than his planning time (46 hours) he recruited scouts and adults for another 58 man hours; which would equal ~$1132 (based on the national volunteer hour value of $19.51).

    Over its first 100 years, Scouting has provided millions of hours of service to communities across America.

    For our 100th Anniversary, we are celebrating that legacy with special service opportunities through A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference.
