Raven Knob Traditional Cache

Raven Knob Scout Reservation – Originally beginning as a 15 acre park  in 1948, the land and facilities were purchased by the Boy Scouts in 1954. The Raven Knob Scout Reservation has grown to approximately 3600 acres and it one of the largest of the ten Scout Reservations in the state of North Carolina.

The Raven Knob Scout Reservation began as Raven Knob Park in 1948. In the summer of 1954, the Boy Scouts borrowed and then bought the land and facilities of the park to create the Scout Reservation. The Reservation continues to be active and has grown from its original 15 acres to 3600 acres, making it one of the largest of the ten Scout Reservations in the state. It includes Lake Sobotta and is currently owned by the Old Hickory Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The Raven Knob Boy Scout Museum opened in 1998 as a service project of the Old Hickory Council’s Historical Association for the purpose of collecting regional Scouting materials and connecting them to broader Scouting history

This site, a part of the “Geocaching for History” program, was researched and placed by the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History.  The goal of this program is to encourage physical activity and exploration of the history of our community.
