miri68: As I'm no longer with Scouting, and in going out there this past weekend, it was gone, I am going to open up this area for someone else. Thanks to all who found it.

Camp Constantin is the flagship campground for Circle 10. Located on 385 acres on the shores of Possum Kingdom Lake near Graford, Texas and containing 15 campsites, Constantin acts as both a regular camp open to Boy Scouts from all areas and as Circle 10's largest and longest-running summer camp hosting roughly 2,800 Scouts during the 7 weeks it's open during the summer.
Constantin was acquired by the Boy Scouts in 1946 when Eugene Constantin donated it, after the death of his son in World War II, to the group that he decided best served the needs, morals, and values of young men. The camp recently celebrated its 60th birthday and regularly plays host to International scouts, most notably Scouting Ireland.
Within Camp Constantin is a sea Aquatics Base that was established by a generous donation from Circle 10 board member and former Constantin staff member Jack D. Furst.
The Aquatics area is the best maintained and most used Aquatics area within Circle 10 Council and one of the best in Texas. The Aquatics Base features a fleet of sailboats (consisting mainly of Sunfish and Hobie Cats), dozens of newly donated canoes, 5 ski boats, a two-year-old state-of-the-art swim dock, and two boat docks.
Another popular feature are the two "Blobs" set out every summer. Because of Fursts' generosity and the area upkeep by staff members it is able to offer the Swimming, Rowing & Canoeing, Motorboating, Lifesaving, Sailing & Advanced Sailing, and Waterskiing merit badges as well as Lifeguard training. Its Water Odyssey program is unique to the camp and is designed solely for Eagle Scouts.
There are patches to trade inside the container, and it is big enough for travel bugs too.
This is an awesome camp. Our boys have had the time of their life in Scouts and here at Camp Constantine.
Note: This cache was placed with permission from Circle 10 and Camp Constantin Ranger. It is at the second gate to the camp itself. There is a posted sign that says Private Property open to campers only at the first gate, but you have permission to travel to the second gate to sign your name on the log. Have fun!
