Geocache Description:


“A Scout knows there is strength in being gentle. He treats others as he wants to be treated. Without good reason, he does not harm or kill any living thing.” (Excerpted from Boy Scout Handbook, 11th Edition, copyright 1998 by BSA)

This cache is the sixth in a series of 12 dedicated to the Boy Scouts of America, with each cache named after one of the 12 points of the Boy Scout Law. It is located along the Boy Scout Trail in Petit Jean State Park. See the cache listing for the first cache in this series, “BSA 1: A Scout is Trustworthy” (GCTXEB), for a description of the Boy Scout Trail.

This cache is located along a section of the trail in the western end of the park, near the section of Cedar Creek known as the Blue Hole. You should spend some time just relaxing in this little visited part of the park. It offers beauty and solitude. A good place to let the worries of life leave for a while! The cache is a camouflaged 50-cal ammo box containing a logbook, pen, and several trade items. The cache is not located far from the trail, so bushwhacking is not necessary and please don’t stray off the trail too early.

When you find this cache please take note how it is hidden and replace it back as you found it so those following you may experience the same challenge.

Please note that the park trails close at dusk, in accordance with state park regulations. Do NOT start your search if you cannot be off the trail by nightfall and do NOT search at night.
