Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America
requires years of dedication and hard work. Over its first 100
years, Scouting has provided millions of hours of service to
communities across America.
Robert G of Troop 50's Eagle project was restoring this Park
Ridge War Memorial and improving the landscaping. He organized the
cleaning of the memorial, and redesigned the landscaping so the
smaller monuments were not covered in bushes as they had been. He
also did some research to see if any Park Ridge names needed to be
added to the memorial and found out that LTJG Brian John Mathison,
who died in Vietnam was not listed. He had a nameplate made and
added to the monument. He completed the project in 2007.
Please pay attention to legal parking in this downtown area.
Have no fear, the cache is not in any of the bushes! It's a typical
park hide.
