The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) "Cache to Eagle" series is a National program to highlight past Eagle Scout projects. This is one of the first "Cache to Eagle" for Cape Fear Council!
Cape Fear Council is a smaller council with 2000 registered youth as of Oct 2023, and is always looking for more.
For Eagle Scout, and in addition to all of the typical Scout skills, badges, and having lots of fun doing outdoor activities, an Eagle Scout candidate has to come up with their own project, coordinate resources, and provide leadership. This is in addition to performing traditional community service for each prior rank they have obtained up to this point.
In the vicinity of this cache, you will see a large covered shelter with picnic benches and a brick fireplace constructed by anĀ Eagle Scout in the Cape Fear Council back in the 1990's, this structure and the fireplace areĀ still used today.
