Besides the merit badges and troop work, candidates for Eagle Scout must complete a community service project. It should involve the scout demonstrating leadership and be of benefit to the community, not the troop itself. It’s carrying out the Scout promise to “help other people at all times.” The project might be of some permanence, but not necessarily.
In 2013 Eagle Scouts recorded 9.3 million service hours during their Eagle projects.
At Moore Recreational Facility, ( http://www.cityofllano.com/facilities/facility/details/Moore-Recreational-Facility-7) the play scape just east of the baseball diamond was built by Troop 301 Boy Scouts in the late 90’s. Soon after, another Scout planned and led the establishing of a xeriscape garden where the dog walking park is now. The pagoda-like structure was part of it. The years of drought took their toll on the garden.
Stop by the ball park’s concession stand, which will be closed if there’s no ball game. Notice the two bulletin boards with plexiglass doors. They were an Eagle project.
The GZ is locked with a padlock. One of the three Eagle Projects here has a bronze plaque with the boy’s name on it. The combination for the padlock is the number of letters in each of his names. Do not post the combination or the scout’s name in the log or on the internet.
The cache is well hidden in a live oak tree. There is a log, pencil, sharpener, and pen; please leave these in the cache. And there’s plenty of swag!
Grats to HiDude_98 for FTF! HiDude wins a Geocaching patch.
