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.
All along this road, and one location on Hobson Rd, you will see multiple turtle crossing signs placed in 2023, by an Eagle Scout candidate, to inform drivers of the large number of turtles that are continually crossing the road at several stream locations.
