Geocache Description:

This is a full size ammo can originally loaded with Girl Scout SWAPS. Girl Scout Swaps are trade items that the girls make to trade with girls from other troops. Please take one and leave one of your own signature items.

This geocache was originally set up on the Paradise Moose Lodge's property as part of the Paradise Service Unit's 2007 Skills Camp. Girl Scouts ages 6 to 13 from the Paradise & Magalia area attended the overnight skills camp. This cache was originally set up as a puzzle type multi cache to teach the girls how to use a GPS to find multiple locations and ultimately a cache filled with goodies just for them.
The Girls had such a good time with it that we decided to put it out for real. Maybe some of these Girls will be able to talk their parents into trying Geocaching.
