Please be respectful of the residents of this, and every other, city of the dead. They were once like you.
As you drive into Greenwood Cemetery by the main entryway and proceed to the back of the campus, you come to a landscaped division of the road. The landscaping, with the curbing and US flag map, are an impressive Eagle Scout project from a couple years ago.
Turn left onto the gravel road and look for a red headstone a few yards into the rows of stones. That’s the epitaph of another Eagle Scout and Order of the Arrow Vigil Honor member. The cache is a little further down the gravel road.
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.
