This cache is one of twelve in Baden-Powell Council's "Cache to Eagle" series, showcasing Eagle Scout projects.
This particular Eagle Scout project is a foot bridge on a trail at the "IBM Glen", an educational preserve owned by Fred L. Waterman Conservation Education Center. The cache is a small plastic box filled with Boy Scout goodies.
See http://www.watermancenter.org/GlenTrifold.pdf for a trail map and description.
Note the IBM Glen rules: enjoy the Glen from dawn to dusk, dogs must be on a leash, pick up after your dog, no motorized vehicles, fires, camping, littering, alcohol or illegal drugs, hunting or weapons, rock climbing or rapelling, and leave plants, vegetation, rocks & animals undisturbed.
The bridge is on a trail, you need not bushwhack to get to it. Parking lot is west of the gorge and the footbridge is east of the gorge - to cross the gorge, take either "White Pine Lane" yellow trail on an old road (picture a Model T putt-putting along it!) and cross a stone bridge, or take the Switchback yellow trail and rock-hop across the creek - your choice!
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.
This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called “Cache to Eagle” that showcases these special contributions.
Over its first 100 years, Scouting has provided millions of hours of service to communities across America. For our 100th Anniversary, we’re celebrating that legacy with special service opportunities through “A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference.” You can join us, and even earn a commemorative patch! Visit Scouting.org/100years to learn more.
We’ve hidden eleven other caches to showcase other Eagle Scout projects. Find all 12! Search for “Baden-Powell Council, Cache to Eagle”. If you collect the keywords in all 12 caches and turn them in via postcard (there are cards in each cache), you receive a Cache to Eagle patch from the Boy Scouts of America (while supplies last!).
