MTCBSA, ER District, Cache To Eagle #9 Traditional Cache

This series of caches is part of a nationwide geocaching series called ― Cache to Eagle! ― and it highlights another component of Scouting: Service. All Scouts perform many hours of community service, from collecting food each year to a myriad of conservation projects.

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).

Cache to Eagle - This program has each district placing 12 traditional caches located in or near an Eagle Scout Project. Each cache will have a keyword. If a scout / leader collects all keywords, they are eligible for a MTC Cache to Eagle Patch that will be available in the MTC Scout Shops.

This Eagle Scout Project highlights a Scout from Troop 416. There are over 100 small trees and about 400 saplings that were planted in this park. These trees will add to the beauty of the park for years to come.

Please us stealth if people are present in the park and place back as found.
