The girls
of Troop 1047 created this geocache as part of earning the
Geocaching "Try-It" badge. Try-Its are designed to introduce
girls to new activities and let them try it out - proficiency
is not required or expected.
In order to earn their badge, they had to do the following:
*Learn what GPS stands for and
how/why they are used;
*Learn the difference between
latitude and longitude;
*Learn what geocaching is about
and why it is so fun;
*Visit geocaching.com and see
how many caches are near where the troop meets; and
*Find a cache.
For extra credit, the troop created a troop cache and four troop
travel bugs.
The girls will be reviewing the online logs for their cache and
travel bugs throughout the year. Please leave
meaningful logs (and appropriate photos) so they can continue to
learn about geocaching. If you are a current or former
Girl Scout, please post your troop number in your log entry. The
girls would also be interested in what you think about their cache,
where you are from (especially if you are from out of town), and
why you like geocaching.
