Meet your community volunteers—a feature filled with board games, pikas, and the Seattle Gum Wall!

It’s a well-known fact that geocaching is a community-based game. After all, what would the game be without creative cache owners and the engaged cachers who log their finds?

Another vital aspect of the game is the group of geocaching community volunteers who dedicate their time, passion, and talent to support the worldwide geocaching community.

  • Reviewers review and publish geocaches that meet geocaching guidelines
  • Moderators guide and monitor participation in the Geocaching Forums
  • Translators translate geocaching content into 25+ languages
  • EarthCache reviewers use their expertise in geology to review and publish EarthCaches

The geocaching community currently has nearly 400 volunteers who support geocachers and provide guidance to new players—all for the love of the game. Though most volunteers are also active players, a large portion of the community hasn’t yet had the chance to meet them.

Here’s a brief introduction to volunteers you might have seen in your community! Continue reading →
