Should be a quick find in a new greenspace in town.
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).
In 2008 the City of Bellingham purchased approximately 5 acres in the Birchwood neighborhood for a new park. The park is still in the planning stages, however the structures that previously occupied the site have been removed. During the summer of 2010, two eagle scout candidates created a new trail that runs diagonally through the site. The project consisted of clearing vegetation and establishing the trail by placing rock and bark. The trail extends through the woods and past two ponds. This area is new and relatively unused, so hopefully the cache will bring a few more people to this site.
This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called ?"Cache to Eagle" that showcases these special contributions. In Whatcom County there are 12 caches that are part of this series. Those that find all twelve of the Whatcom County Cache to Eagle geocaches qualify for a special Boy Scout Patch. To qualify for the patch please send an email to soilsqueezer @yahoo.com with a list of all the active caches, the date you found them, your name and troop number. I will place your patch in your troop's mailbox at the scout office or send it to you via mail if you are not part of the Mount Baker Council.
