All 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.
