This is the third of 12 special geocaches hidden across Southwest and Central Oklahoma in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. These caches are part of “Get in the Game,” a BSA project to get more boys involved in Scouting through an interest in geocaching.
The Last Frontier Council’s “Cache to Eagle” series of public geocaches are hidden near the sites of Boy Scout Eagle projects. Caches will vary in terms of size and type, but most will contain swag.
By finding and logging a cache, you are automatically entered into a drawing to win a rare 2010 Scouting geocoin, or a "Cache to Eagle" collector's patch. Two items will be given away monthly.
Patches and coins are available while supplies last, and your entry will stay active until the items are all gone. You don’t have to be a Boy Scout or BSA volunteer to be eligible, and there are no strings attached to this gift!
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 series that showcases these special contributions.
Coordinates will take you to a location southeast of Hobart. From the terminal building, looking to the south, you will see a huge compass rose painted on the tarmack. In the middle of this graphic, you will quickly notice the Boy Scout fleur-de-lis. The compass rose was an Eagle Scout project completed by Daniel Sharp in 2005, who was a member of Hobart Troop 241. Today, Daniel is its Scoutmaster.
This cache is indoors, but it is accessible 24-hours-a-day. The cache was hidden with the permission and assistance of the facility's caretaker.
Congratulations to smokeybearsden on being first to find!
