The Scouts (BSA) "Cache to Eagle" series is a National program to highlight past Eagle Scout projects. This is the tenth cache for the Chester County Council (CCC), celebrating our council's 100th anniversary!
This hybrid Geocache and Letterbox is placed at Springton Manor Farm Park, the site of many Eagle Scout projects including the three featured in this cache/letterbox. Bring your Letterbox notebook and stamp, and share our stamp in your log / your stamp in our log. If you are not a letterboxer, please do not disturb the stamp and ink pad inside the cache container.
To find this geocache, you will need to visit the sites of three Eagle Scout projects, and solve a site puzzle based on what you see there. Solve for N40 4.ABC W75 46.DEF.
A = "# BIN UNIT" + 1** (answer was 4 bins + 1, bins have been replaced by a single bin)
B = number of stair sets up to stage** (answer was 3, left, right & front)
C = number of letters in the surname on the bench dedication
D = THE ___ MACHINE number of letters
E = number of letters in the third line, fourth word on the bench dedication
F = "JUST SAY ___!" number of letters - 1 (composting brochure)** (answer is MOW - 3 letters)
Checksum = 26

Please observe Springton Manor Park rules. Park is open 8 a.m. to sunset (time adjusted seasonally and posted at entrance).
Replace the cache exactly as found. Be careful to tuck the edges of the zip bags into the container so they do not get caught in the seal and cause leaks. If you have difficulty with the cache or container, please contact the CO (Cache Owner), CCCCacheToEagle.
