To earn the rank of Eagle a Boy Scout must plan and direct the completion of a significant group service project designed to benefit his local community. This "Cache To Eagle" series of geocaches highlights just a few of the many Eagle service projects performed within the communities comprising the Old Juniper District of the Trapper Trails Council. We hope you will visit all 12 geocaches and gain a better appreciation for the thousands of hours of meaningful community service performed each year by local Boy Scouts.
Newton is the home of Troops 64 and 321. A very unique Eagle service project performed by Scouts from Newton was the creation of an outdoor shooting range available for use by the general public. The work included construction of permanent shooting benches and placement of metal target stands positioned at a variety of shooting distances.
The cache is located near the edge of the pavement about 18 inches above the ground. The container is a small plastic capsule wrapped with camouflage tape. You'll need to bring your own pen or pencil to write on the log sheet.
