City Hall Play-Scape Traditional Cache

Troop 301, Llano, Texas

Cache to Eagle Project

The original playscape was an Eagle Scout project in the 1990’s.  Besides providing untold hours of children’s play, it honors the firefighters next door.  Also, the city government.  Years later the Eagle Scout was elected to the city council. The wooden project was replaced in 2015.

In all, nearly 57,000 Boy Scouts earned the Eagle Scout award in 2013, only slightly less than 2012.  Still, only a small percentage (between 1 and 4%) of boys who join Boy Scouts attain the highest rank.  Besides the merit badges and leadership requirements, the boy has to complete a service project for the community, putting into practice the Scout promise “to help other people at all times.”   The scout organizes and recruits help, material, and sometimes, funds.  Eagle projects in 2013 included 9.3 million service hours.  By and large, the projects give a community lasting benefits it might not otherwise have.

Look for an uncamoed preform soda tube.  Pencil provided. No room for swag.
