Cornhusker Council, Cache to Eagle #8 Traditional Cache
Husker Scouters: Yep, the bridge is gone. Will try to find a replacement for this one, but for now it needs to be archived.
Cornhusker Council, Cache to Eagle #8
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This bridge is the site of a recent Boy Scout Eagle project that was organized and completed in 2009 by Christopher from Troop 25. His project included substantially shoring up the bank under the east end of the bridge, replacing board planks, and repainting the bridge. Numerous service hours were logged by members of Troop 25 and others to complete this project.
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). This cache is part of a nationwide geocaching series called “Cache to Eagle” that showcases these special contributions.
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.
We’ve hidden twelve caches to showcase Eagle Scout projects in each of the districts in the Cornhusker Council. Three are in the Prairie Winds District, three are in the Seven Feathers District, and six are in the Salt Valley District (this is one of them). Find all 12!
There is an unactived Scouting geocoin sitting on top of a magnetic keyholder for the First to Find. If you've already claimed one of these Scouting geocoins, do a good turn and leave it for the next finder to claim!
