CITO Season 1 Halftime Show!

From pulling ivy to planting trees, cleaning beaches to carrying frogs, when geocachers CITO, they make their communities a better place. Collectively, these small actions can make a big difference worldwide.

Check out these recent Cache In Trash Out® Events from around the world and get inspired to host or attend a CITO in your area.

Since 2018, this CITO Event series has been making a splash in Slovenia. Each spring, locals gather at nearby ponds and wetlands to help frogs cross busy roadways. Why did Signal the Frog® cross the road? To attend the CITO, of course!

CITO 2024 Season 1 ends May 31! Join the 7,000 geocachers around the world who have already attended a CITO Event in 2024 and earn your Season 1 souvenir.
