Mvhawks' Trail to Eagle Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Kosh Naranek: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the immediate future, just contact one of your local reviewers and assuming it meets the current guidelines, it can be unarchived.

Geocache Description:

I created this cache to commemorate my earning the rank of
Eagle Scout, and to launch my Cache to Eagle GeoCoin that my dad bought to honor my achievement of earning the rank of Eagle Scout.
.
The final on this cache brings you to a garden where I led the building of the information kiosk as the final requirement of earning the rank of Eagle.

This is a multi-cache. I got the idea from a geocache that my dad did in Solvang, CA (GC2D1FE). This is a night-time only cache, and you will need a strong flashlight to complete. You begin at the posted coordinates and shine your flashlight around in a 360 degree circle until you see a small reflective butterfly. Once you locate the butterfly, you will walk to it, and repeat 10 more times, until you are at the 11th butterfly. Once at the eleventh WHITE butterfly, you will have to search the area for a film canister, which contains the log. We have had to temporarily change the ending to this as the box at the end at the garden has been muggled, we are planning to extend this trail and add a new box at the end.
.
.

Each butterfly represents one of the twelve points of the Scout Law. Here they are:
A scout is
1. Trustworthy
2. Loyal
3. Helpful
4. Friendly
5. Courteous
6. Kind
7. Obedient
8. Cheerful
9. Thrifty
10. Brave
11. Clean
12. Reverent
.
.
.
.
On the inside of the final container, there is the Scout Oath, which is:
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
.
.
.
.
The Scout Slogan is "Do a good turn daily", so in all of your logs, please post what your good turn was today.
