This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called "Cache to Eagle" that showcases these special contributions. William C. and Alex Y. from Great Neck's Boy Scout Troop 10 have brought hundreds of hours of volunteer labor to the task of restoring the Virginia Point portion of Udalls Cove Park and Preserve, in cooperation with the Udalls Cove Preservation Committee(UCPC). They removed rubbish, rebuilt foot trails and installed rustic split rail fencing. NYC Parks Dept provided huge volumes of wood chips to cover the trails and the UCPC provided the fence. More trails have been laid out by the UCPC and will eventually be cleared.
More projects have been completed here by Max L. of Troop 10 (footbridge, trail improvements & tree planting, 2015)and Alex Z. of Troop 153 (split rail fence, trail improvements and tree planting, 2013) since the cache was placed. Many more besides these!
You are looking for a hidden lock-it container not far off the trail. Depending on the tides and conditions, your shoes will get wet or muddy. There might be difficult water crossings. Tread lightly over the flora and watch for thorns & poison ivy! Please rehide cache well.
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! Visit Scouting.org/100years to learn more.
THIS IS OPTIONAL!
IT’S OPEN TO ALL GEOCACHERS –NOT JUST SCOUTS!
