This is a series of caches being put out by Boy Scout Leaders in Central New Jersey Council BSA that are located at Eagle project sites.
Eagle is the highest rank that a boy can earn in scouts. He has to complete at least 21 merit badges (12 specific required ones and 9 others of his choosing). He also has to hold a position of leadership in the troop for at least 6 months, plus plan and carry out a service project that benefits either a religious or community organization. Many of these projects exceed 100 man-hours to complete. The scout has to fund-raise to pay for this also.
There will be a total of 13 caches in the series. The first 12 will be named for the 12 laws of scouting: “A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent”. The 13th cache will be a puzzle cache. There will be a clue in each one that will give you the co-ordinates of the final. As you visit each of the caches, be sure to collect the clue in each one so that you can gather the co-ordinates for the final puzzle cache. This is the last of the regular caches in the series. The final puzzle cache will be out the end of his month. Completion of the whole series will enable you to purchase a special patch designed for our council to commemorate this series.
This is a small lock-n-lock hidden near a labyrinth that was put in the field near the edge of the woods. This labyrinth is a mowed path which looks like a maze in the field. Ancient times they mere elaborate structures to possibly keep beasts contained. {In colloquial English, labyrinth is generally synonymous with maze, but many contemporary scholars observe a distinction between the two: maze refers to a complex branching puzzle with choices of path and direction; while a single-path labyrinth has only a single, non-branching path, which leads to the center. A labyrinth in this sense has an unambiguous route to the center and back and is not designed to be difficult to navigate.}
In modern times, a labyrinth is used as a spiritual tool and is symbolic of the journey to the center of yourself. It is an aid for learning about the spiritual path and many are built of brick.
