Scouting Builds Ethics and Character
As youth, Scouts are taught to live by a code of conduct exemplified in the 12 points of the Scout Law, and they continue to live by these laws in adulthood. The Scout Law has 12 points. Each is a goal for every Scout. A Scout tries to live up to the Law every day. It is not always easy to do, but a Scout always tries.
A Scout is…
TRUSTWORTHY
LOYAL
HELPFUL
FRIENDLY
COURTEOUS
KIND
OBEDIENT
CHEERFUL
THRIFTY
BRAVE
CLEAN
REVERENT
Eagle Scout is the highest rank that a scout can earn. Earning the rank of Eagle Scout requires a scout to plan, lead, and complete a community service project. Each Geocache in this series will take you to a different Eagle Scout project that was completed by a local scout. My father and I are both very involved in scouts as well as being avid geocachers. I myself am an eagle scout. We wanted to create a series that honored many of my friends and fellow eagle scouts.
This cache is the first of the series and represents the First Point of the Scout Law… TRUSTWORTHY. This cache is placed for my own eagle project. It is a Memorial Garden to honor Linda Verellen who is the former longtime Treasurer for Washington Township.
In order to find the coordinates for the final cache you will need to use a basic scout skill…Orienteering.
You will use the information on the Memorial Stone and the Eagle Project stone to your right as well as the Eagle Scout stone in the patio. You will also need information from another nearby Eagle Project. From the posted coordinates for this cache you will travel in the direction of 30 degrees until you find the other nearby Eagle Scout Project.
The final Cache Coordinates are at N42 43.ABC and W083 2.DEF. You will need to answer the following questions to find the final Cache coordinates for ABC and DEF.
A= On the nearby project, subtract the second digit of the Troop number from the Third.
B= Add the first and fourth numbers from the First date on the Memorial Rock.
C= The first number of the Troop for the scout who built the Memorial Garden.
D= The second number of the troop of the scout who built the Memorial Garden.
E= Add the first digit of both troops for both projects
F= Subtract the last digit of the troop number from the last digit of the year built for the nearby project
We hope you enjoy this series as much as we did in creating it. We hope to challenge and entertain you in the process. Please respect the area and other visitors. Please place Geocache back exactly where found.
