Circle 10 – Lone Star – Cache to Eagle #1 is the first in a series of 12 public geocaches located at Eagle Project sites across the Lone Star District in the Circle 10 Council. It is part of the nation wide Cache to Eagle Series® program. The Lone Star Cache to Eagle Series is aimed at promoting geocaching and showcasing the community service and contributions of local Eagle Scouts. Each of these Scouting-themed caches contains a code word: one of the 12 points of the Scout Law.
This cache is located in McKinney, TX at the Chestnut Square Historic Village. Local Boy Scout troops play an important role in restoring, upgrading, and preserving the grounds and structures at Chestnut Square.

Cache Details:
This cache is a two-stage multi-cache. Stage 1 provides clues for finding stage 2. Stage 2 is within easy walking distance from the first stage. Keep track of the code word/cach ID combos as you visit caches in the series. They will be needed when the 12th cache in the series goes live.
Be sure to spend some time in the village and stop by Dixie's store and other structures in the village. Watch out for muggles if visiting on the weekends as there is always something going on at Chestnut Square.
Note: Stage 2 is located in a bit of an urban canyon that may impact GPS accuracy.
