Boy Scout Jonathan of Boy Scout Troop 826, planned and built a deck along the south wall of the VFW building off S. Waggoner Road as his Eagle Scout project.
"I chose the VFW Post for my project not only because my Boy Scout troop is based there, but because my grandfather is a retired master sergeant in the United States Air Force who served for 22 years during the Vietnam War," he said. "My brother is also in the military -- he's a lance corporal in the Marine Corps, stationed in California."
Jonathan and about a dozen scouts from his troop built all but the railing of the 8-foot by14-foot deck.
Per the Scout :"becoming an Eagle Scout means earning 21 merit badges, serving in leadership positions and planning and executing a major project of benefit to the community. I think if you want to be an Eagle Scout, you should set the bar a little higher each time," he said. "Big projects like this are more work, but they can really benefit the community."
This cache is a magnetic key holder and inside is written in permanant marker one of the Scout laws plus a pencil & log sheet.
Just to make it a bit more interesting, the cache is located within an old cemetery next to the VFW hall.
This Cache to Eagle geocache is # 10 of 12 caches hidden within the Simon Kenton Council to highlight Eagle Projects. Over the next few months, caches with the remaining Scout laws will be placed in or near other Eagle Scout Projects in Simon Kenton Council. If you find all 12 & can match the locations with the correct Scout Laws you will be sent a Cache to Eagle patch.
Have fun & good luck!
