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/hr).
An Eagle Scout Project was done in the Elkhorn Park Neighborhood
along Dover Road in 2006 by an Eagle Scout from Troop 1789 in the
Elkhorn District of the Blue Grass Council of Kentucky. The Eagle
Scout Project was a series of wooden benches placed in the
triangular park-like areas in the neighborhood for the
neighborhood's enjoyment.
This cache container is a tube or vial only containing a log
sheet. Upon reaching the final coordinates, you will walk an
additional 40ft.
Take note of the clue written on on the log sheet. This clue
is needed to locate Eagle Cache #7!
You can earn the special Cache to Eagle patch by finding all 12
Blue Grass Council Elkhorn-Palisades Districts "Cache to Eagle"
geocaches. They will be published periodically throughout 2010.
When you find & log all twelve caches, email the list of cache
GC numbers, your caching name and your actual name for verification
to geocaching@bgbsa.net, and you will receive a special Cache To
Eagle patch (shown below). Upon verification you will be able to
pick up this patch up at the Scout Shop located at the Blue Grass
Council Office at 3445 Richmond Road in Lexington, KY. Visit the
Blue Grass Council website (bgbsa.org) or Geocaching.com (caching name:
BGBSA) for more details and the list of the other Cache to Eagle
cache locations.
In addition, most but not all of the Cache To Eagle caches
contain entry forms to fill out and return to the BGBSA Council
office. Your name will be entered in the monthly raffle to win one
of these unique and limited edition BSA 100th Anniversary trackable
geocoins. If you don't win, your card will be left in the raffle
box and you will have another chance the next month. We will be
raffling off 30 of these limited edition, trackable geocoins.
Please take only one card from the cache--multiple entries of the
same name are not permitted. If there are no cards in the cache,
let us know, and we'll place more in the cache and email one to
you.
