This is the 10th cache in a series of
12
"Cache to Eagle" hides in Burke County dedicated to Boy Scout Eagle
projects...
2010 is the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America.
As
part of the celebration, BSA has set a goal to place 12
caches,
(one for each point of the Scout Law), in every district and
in
every council in the country. Burke County is in the
Tablerock
District of the Piedmont Council. Eagle Scout is the highest
rank
in Boy Scouting. In addition to earning 21 merit badges, being
an
active and loyal member of his troop and participating in
many
hours of service work, the scout must demonstrate leadership
in
planning and bringing to completion a project that will benefit
his
community, school, church, etc.
**about the project...…
Over the summer of 2006, scouts from Troop 898 dedicated
many hours of labor to design and install a wildlife habitat area
in Reep Park. The scouts planted grass, sunflowers and corn. This
area is obviously overgrown now, but I really like the concept and
think you will enjoy the solitude here. There is an observation
deck nearby which was not part of the project. The project
area is marked with a sign on a 4 x 4 post.
***Now, about the cache…
You are looking for a 6 x 8 lock-n-lock box containing a logbook,
pen and a few trade items. The cache should be very easy to find
considering the lack of suitable hiding spots. Please note, there
is absolutely no need to go into the wildlife area. Please, try to
leave it like you found it,,,or better.
ENJOY!!!
