This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of
America (BSA). The BSA theme this year is "Get Into the Game" based
on geocaching. Many states are participating in the Cache to Eagle Series
(CTE). Vermont is participating with three geocaches hidden in
each of our BSA Districts:
- Ethan Allen District - Serving Addison, Bennington and Rutland
Counties.
- Calvin Coolidge District - Serving Windsor and Windham
Counties.
- Three Rivers District - Serving Chittenden, Franklin, Grand
Isle and Western Lamoille counties.
- Long Trail District - Serving Orleans, Essex, Caledonia,
Washington and Orange Counties.
Each of the 12 geocaches is placed near a local Eagle Project.
There are hundreds of Eagle Projects throughout Vermont and we are
hoping to showcase more than the 12 that are part of this series.
The Eagle Project in St. Albans Town Cohen Park was organized by
Eagle Scout John Grimes of Troop 70 in St. Albans, VT. John's group
added a cedar hedge row to the park. John's father, a former Scout
leader in that Troop has been mowing the park and helping with
other maintenance for the town for the last several years.
About the Cache
This is a two-stage multi. The first stage is a camouflaged pill
key chain and the final is a regular sized lock and lock. FTF prize
is a Get Into the Game geocoin from geoscouting.org.
This particular Eagle Project was chosen for the series because
of the scenic view.
Cohen Park does not see very much traffic and I bet the locals
enjoy having this little gem all to themselves. The park is open
from dawn until dusk. Please do not search for this cache at night.
Permission to place this geocache was given to roostersting by Lisa
from the
St. Albans Town Clerk's Office.
