This is the sixth 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.
You may want to sit down as you mull the location of the cache. That bench you'll be sitting on is one of several placed along Main Street in Waurika as part of an Eagle project organized by Scout Craig Chick of Troop 460 in 1998.
Look behind you and you'll likely see a trailer that the Troop uses to collect aluminum cans for a community recycling project.
Immediately south of the cache is the local NAPA dealership. Peer in the window and you'll see an eyeglasses collection box for the local Lions Club. Scout Jay Mays built several of the boxes to place around Waurika as his Eagle project in 1999. If the store is open, feel free to go inside and take a closer look. The owner won't mind; he is the former Scoutmaster of Troop 460.
Congrats, 2moore for the FTF.
