This cache and many others were hidden in conjunction with the HNY19 (GC7WH30) event held on New Years Day. This year marked the 10th Anniversary of the event.
This series of caches were hidden to honor the Boy Scouts.
The Outdoor Code:
“As an American, I will do my best to—
Be clean in my outdoor manners.
Be careful with fire.
Be considerate in the outdoors.
Be conservation-minded.”
The precursor to BSA's Outdoor Code was the "Conservation Pledge":
In 1946, Outdoor Life Magazine held a nationwide contest for a thirty-word Conservation Pledge.

Over 15,000 entries were received, and the winner was announced in December 1946.
The winning Pledge was featured on the January 1947 cover of Outdoor Life magazine.
Boy's Life magazine printed the Conservation Pledge in most issues from June of 1947 through January of 1954.
The Conservation Pledge was included in early printings of the 5th Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook.
The Outdoor Code first appeared in Boy's Life magazine in the March 1954 issue, which featured "An Outdoor Code for Americans" and "B.S.A.'s Conservation Good Turn". The Good Turn was prompted by a request from President Dwight Eisenhower, challenging the Boy Scouts to raise public awareness of the importance of caring for natural resources.
The Outdoor Code was added to the Boy Scout Handbook in 1955. It was introduced in recognition of the importance of our relationship with nature and our responsibility to be conservationists. Conservation is the responsible stewardship of the environment to preserve natural ecosystems while ensuring that balanced consideration is also given to human needs.
