Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called ”Cache to Eagle” that showcases special contributions that Eagle Scouts have made to their community.

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).

This cache is hidden at Back River United Methodist Church on Back River Neck Road. This warm and welcoming church is home to Boy Scout Troop and Cub Scout Pack 372 and has graduated many Eagle Scouts. When you park for this cache, stop and take a look at the beautiful display built to showcase the church's old bell. This brick display also allowed to church to raise money by selling memorial bricks. This memorial display was built as an Eagle project by one of Troop 372's Boy Scouts.

Over its first 100 years, Scouting has provided millions of hours of service to communities across America. For our 100th Anniversary, we’re celebrating that legacy with special service opportunities through "A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference". You can join us, and even earn a commemorative patch! The Baltimore Area Council, Chesapeake District series of Cache to Eagle caches will number 12 eventually, and each one will have a card that contains one of the 12 points of the Scout Law. Keep track of each one and when you’ve visited all twelve, send me an email with this codeword and the particular associated number within the series (this is number 3), and the first 25 will be eligible to receive a commemorative Cache to Eagle patch. Visit Scouting.org/100years to learn more.

About the cache itself: This is a very easy tree hide, which has been approved by the church administration. You don't need to be more than 10 feet off of the asphalt to find this. I would suggest avoiding finding this cache on Sunday mornings unless you'd like to join in the 10:30 Worship service.

Congratulations go to Pack355Mom on her very first FTF!!!!
