Billy Holland with
Troop 631, of the Black Fox Dist. His project was restoring a
Historic Wall in the downtown McMinnville area and also adding a
sign to be seen be those passing thru town. I am also putting
another Eagle Scout Project by Tim Womack that is located across
the road hidden from many eye's his project cleaning up the
original McMinnville Spring.
This series of caches
is part of a nationwide geocaching series called -- Cache to Eagle!
-- and it highlights another component of Scouting: Service.
All 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).
Cache to Eagle - This program has each district placing 12
traditional caches located in or near an Eagle Scout Project. Each
cache will have a keyword. If a scout / leader collects all
keywords, they are eligible for a MTC Cache to Eagle Patch that
will be available in the MTC Scout Shops.
