Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!!

This cache has been placed as part of a series to celebrate 100 years of Scouting. Other Scouters and cachers are invited to join in and make caches as well. As the name implies the cache is about Scouts Canada. Cache is a micro so a writing stick will be necessary to log the find if the one in the cache goes missing.

The final cache location is within 10 m of a well used trail with a walk right up to the cache so watch out for muggles. It is also wheel chair accessible. If you think you need to bushwack, or even see a bush over 3 feet high you are in the wrong place. The final location should be obvious once you arrive.
