This Eagle Service Project was completed in March and April 2003 by
Adrian D. of Troop 765. The purpose of the project was to conduct a
citywide campaign to collect 140 new and gently used pieces of
luggage - including backpacks and duffel bags - for donation to
local children in foster care. The collected luggage was
distributed by the local office of the Florida Department of
Children & Families. Scouts and other volunteers completed the
work over six weeks, with total project time estimated at 503.5
hours, including planning and preparation and luggage cleanup.
Costs for the project were negligible, with many items and services
generously donated for the effort.
This cache is in the general vicinity of
the DCF office.
Inside the cache container is a laminated yellow note with a
code word. Please make note of the code word, and once you have
found all 12 Thunderbird District Cache to Eagle caches, e-mail the
cache names and corresponding code words to me using the link in my
profile. The first 100 cachers to find a complete district series
within Gulf Ridge Council will receive a free Cache to Eagle patch
in honor of Scouting's 100 anniversary year celebration.
