Three Rivers Council: Cache to Eagle Series #1:
Real Life Superhero [Spider-Man]
Hi. My name is Blue Ranger. I am from Troop 95. I was working on the geocaching merit badge when I discovered there is not a “Cache to Eagle Series” in my area…so I asked my Scoutmaster Captain America if I could set one up.
A Cache to Eagle series is 12 caches near Eagle Scout projects around our council area. The Three Rivers Council is made up of 10 counties: Orange, Jefferson, Chambers, Liberty, Polk, San Jacinto, Hardin, Tyler, Jasper and Newton.
Eagle Scouts are like real life superheroes because they are kind and help others in the community and try to do a good turn daily. They live by the Outdoor Code and try to save and protect wildlife.
Each cache will share a story about a real-life hero and the way they served their community.
This is the story about the real-life superhero, Spider-Man.
Even though Spider-Man is known for spider sense and agility. His favorite superpower would be flying if he could pick one.
Spider-Man has been in boy scouts for 13 years. He earned 35 merit badges while becoming an Eagle Scout. His favorite is the small boat sailing badge.
His Eagle Scout Project was 5 signs posted at major spots in Cleveland, Texas containing a map of the city. He chose this project to help with locating locations around Cleveland because of the influx of new people entering the city. This cache is a multicache and starts with "The Word Finder". Once you locate “The Word Finder” inside you will find the coordinates and directions to the final cache.
He learned that planning is a big part of everything that you do. And the amount of planning you do can dramatically determine the outcome of the project or task.
A message for others from Spider-Man “Enjoy the fun times and try to take something you learn from every experience you have in and outside of scouting.
To get to the first clue in this multicache you must go inside the building and search for "The Word Finder" in the card catalog. This will lead you to a certain book and inside you will find directions to the final cache. If building is closed check hint.
CONGRATULATIONS TexasWriter FOR FTF!
