Cache to Eagle is a series of public geocaches hidden at or near the sites of Boy Scout Eagle projects. Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America requires years of dedication and hard work. In addition to 11 required and 10 elective merit badges (21 total), each Scout must complete a project that requires many hours of planning, dedicated leadership, and a commitment to his community.
This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called Cache to Eagle, which showcases these special contributions.
The log book at each cache location has one of the 12 points of the Boy Scout Law (they are in random order). Once a registered Scout or Scouter has found all twelve Cache to Eagle caches within Orange County Council (OCBSA) and can relate the point of the scout law to a cache, e-mail the answer to me thru this website to receive a Cache to Eagle Patch. (Also available at www.geoscouting.com.)
In addition, after finding all 12 caches, you will earn an entry into a drawing for one of the exclusive 2010 Scouting geocoins.
Patches and coins are available while supplies last, and your entry will stay active until the coins are all gone.
There have been many Eagle projects at the Bolsa Chica Conservancy at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. Outside, they include trail building and repair, and the large planter boxes in the rear of the building. Inside, Karl L. from Troop 319 led the construction of the wooden tank display in the center of the front area. In the back rooms, the white cabinets to the right and most of the display cabinets to the left are all projects done by other Scouts.
If you have information regarding any of these projects, or others done at the Conservancy or Wetlands, please let me know so they can be included on this page.
