Boy Scout Day celebrates the birthday of Scouting in America. On February 8, 1910, Chicago publisher William Dickson Boyce filed incorporation papers in the District of Columbia to create the Boy Scouts of America.

Scouting groups across the country celebrate this day. Often a cake will be served at the weekly meeting or on a campout. Scout Sunday, the Sunday nearest the 8th of February, will often be marked with a church service, followed by a pancake breakfast.

Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts offer a tremendously valuable program of life skills and values for millions of boys. It has been popular ever since Lord Baden-Powell founded Boy Scouts in the early 1900s in Great Brittain. The top award of Eagle Scout, is an accomplishment that reaps recognition, rewards, and benefits for a young man throughout his life.

Had a nice visit to Colorado, and found a lot of caches

Head to get a quick cache during a long layover

Everything Below is a generic disclaimer I (shamelessly) put in to admittedly add log length to my logs for a challenge requiring longer log averages.

A huge thank you from myself for all you've done for the geocaching community. Whether a brand new cacher, or a seasoned veteran, geocaching continues to be fun for me because of caches like yours that you took the time to make, the time to hide, and the time to maintain. I hope you continue geocaching as often as you can, I hope to see you at future events and most importantly, I hope you continue to help this amazing game grow by hiding future caches and maintaining your old ones!

If you would like to check me out or follow me on social media, I'm found on all sites as SoDakZak (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter) and I'm also a frequent contributor to the Geocache Talk podcast on iTunes and YouTube. Hope you enjoy my scenic photos, daring videos and discussions over audio I have!

Please feel free to message me any time you want and have an amazing day!

All the Best,
-SoDakZak
