Long Description:
For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has helped youth become more than they ever thought possible. And we’ll continue that journey into the next century. Scouting volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, but all are committed to one thing — leading youth to become responsible, caring, and competent citizens. This cache is to honor the countless hours given to youth by volunteers of any organization. THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE — this cache is for you!
A long-standing tradition of Scouting is trading patches. This cache is established for that purpose. Bring your favorite patch and make a fair trade—council strip for council strip; event patch for event patch; non-Scouting patch for non-Scouting patch. Please limit your trade goods to patches only. There is also plenty of space in this cache for travelers.
Finding the cache should be very easy. Getting to the goodies will test your powers of observation. The container is secured with a combination lock. All but one of the digits of the combination can be determined from where you are standing when you find the cache. You’ll have to look around a little for the last digit.
1st number of the combination: What is the 2nd digit of the address of the Atlanta Area Council Volunteer Service Center?
2nd number of the combination: How many stars are in the symbol of the Boy Scouts of America? Count the number of stars and add the digits together.
3rd number of the combination: On the building, off to your right, are reliefs of 2 Eagle required merit badges. How many letters are in the name of the one on the left?
4th number of the combination: How many awards has Bernie Abrams received?
For First to Find, there is an un-activated “Get in the Game” geo-coin.
For the First to Trade, there is a limited edition “Cache to Eagle” patch. A Scout is Trustworthy. You must trade a patch to take this one
