This site has benefited greatly from their partnership with the Boy
Scouts of America. According to one church member, there are ten
Eagle Scout Projects on these grounds. The Eagle Service projects
include a flagpole, a fire ring, landscaping at the entrance,
picnic tables and more. The most recent Eagle Service project is an
entrance trellis to a prayer labyrinth. The Scout from Troop 204
removed the old entrance trellis,and planned and purchased the
materials for the new entrance trellis. The scout then organized a
work crew and supervised the building of the new entrance trellis.
He also planted foxglove and clemantis (a climbing plant) on both
sides of the trellis. By the way, the prayer labyrinth itself was
another Eagle Scout Service Project done by a scout from Troop 298.
Permission to place this cache was obtained by the scout liason
to the church who sought and obtained permission from the church
elders. According to the scout liason, the church has "...enjoyed a
great relationship with the Boy Scouts of America."
This cache is part of the "Cache to Eagle" series highlighting
service projects conducted by Eagle Scout candidates. This series
highligts Eagle Scout service projects in Chief Black Dog District
