In 2009, local Cub Scout Pack 3010 hid a geocache GC1W2E4 named: "Be Prepared" in Hemlock Crossings. Unfortunately, the pack at Calvary Reformed Church closed within a year or two later. The cache continued on, but eventually the lack of owner maintenance flagged the cache to the attention of the reviewer team and it was archived in place in 2017. Then, in 2023, during a after-Thanksgiving hike event, the members of Cub Scout Pack 3032 found the old cache, cleaned out the container, added a new log book and planned to re-list it as an active geocache again. However, when attempting to publish the listing, it was within the 528' proximity of a newer cache that had published in recent years. After sitting idle for a bit, permissions were verified, a new location was acquired a short distance away, and is now ready to return to service.
A special request of the geocachers who find this cache: If you are or have been a member of Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Girl Scouts, Cadets & GEMS, Awana, Camp Fire USA, American Heritage Girls, or Trail Life, please share with us what your unit number is/was, your city, and the organization in your log. (I.E. "Cub Scout Pack 3005 from 1985-1988 and Boy Scout Troop 165 from 1988 to 1995, Grand Haven, Michigan). Thank you to all of the Scouts and Scouters who have served over the years and God bless you in your service to those around you and your country.
