This cache is part of my Eagle Scout project. Becoming an Eagle Scout is the highest honor in Scouting. It takes years of hard work and dedication. You have to earn at least 21 merit badges, perform service in your community, help the environment, and take a leadership role in your troop. The Eagle project is the final requirement to become an Eagle Scout.
The cache name (Trustworthy), is one of the points of the Scout Law. 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.
This geocache is one of 12 different geocaches at 12 different locations near other Eagle projects in and around Lynden for a Cache to Eagle series. “Cache to Eagle is a partnership between Geoscouting, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), and Geocaching.com to highlight Eagle projects across the nation” (Scouting News). This will help people know more about Geocaching and Scouts and help them get outdoors more. You can contact me at Bisquecache06 on Geocaching.com.
This Eagle project is the Bender Field Small Dog Park. The project was building a small dog park small dog park within the current dog park. The Scout chose this project because he uses the park and thought that it would be nice to have a small dog section. This would be beneficial to the community because big dogs and small dogs don't always get along. The parks supervisor said that this was one of the primary concerns of people who use the park.
Boy Scouts support "Leave No Trace" awareness and have followed "Leave No Trace" principles with their own Outdoor Code since 1955. Feel free to practice Cache In Trash Out by taking a bag from the geocache and picking up any trash you might find on your way back to your vehicle.
