Cache to Eagle®
Celebrating Scouting Leadership and Service
Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout requires years of dedication
and
hard work. In addition to 21 required merit badges, each Scout
must
complete an extensive service project that he plans,
organizes,
leads, and manages. On average, each Scout conducts 167
service
hours as part of that project. In 2008 alone, that translated
to
$16 million* in service to communities across America.
Cache to Eagle is a partnership between Geoscouting, the BSA,
and
Geocaching.com to highlight Eagle projects across the nation.
Through the program, participants set up normal public caches
at
Eagle project sites that also happen to be good cache spots.
Dozens
of public caches that showcase these remarkable sites are
already
posted, and the initial response has been fantastic. Hundreds
of
people visit the Eagle Scout projects, and many of them write
public notes on the logs at Geocaching.com.
Our geocoin BSA 100th
Anniversary Geocoin DWC - Loyal is starting it's journey
here.
About this cache and project:
The ammo can cache is placed along the trails and grounds at the
Harris Center for Conservation Education in Hancock. In November
2009 they became a bit more inviting and comfortable, thanks to the
hard work of a 17-year-old Nelson resident who completed an
ambitious trails-improvement project towards earning his Eagle
Scout badge.
