Celebrate the Geocaching Community’s Volunteers

The Global Geocaching Community VolunteersThank you volunteers

English language flagVolunteers help define your geocaching experience. Volunteers offer their advice and guidance to geocache owners and help set the tone of the game. The volunteers number in the hundreds, speak dozens of languages, and most all love geocaching and the global community it creates. Find out more about the geocaching community volunteers, including a behind-the-scenes video. Each geocache you find or hide has the digital fingerprints of a volunteer on it. Volunteer reviewers assist geocachers by reviewing and publishing geocaches that meet specific guidelines. To learn more about how to work with your local reviewer and successfully hide a geocache, see How to Hide a Geocache and watch Basics of Hiding a Geocache. For more information about working with a reviewer, see the Geocaching Help Center. Go to the official Geocaching Facebook page to join us in saying a big ‘Thank You’ to the community’s volunteer reviewers.

 Freiwillige helfen mit, Dein Geocaching-Erlebnis mitzugestalten. Sie stellen Cache-Ownern ihre Expertise und Anleitung zur Verfügung und helfen dadurch mit, wesentlich bei unserem Spiel mitzuwirken. Volunteers beherrschen hunderte, sprich: dutzende, Sprachen, und fast alle gehen in Geocaching und der globalen Community, die dadurch entsteht, voll und ganz auf. Deswegen finde hier mehr über die Arbeit der freiwilligen Helferinnen und Helfer der Geocaching-Gemeinschaft heraus, inklusive eines Video-Clips, der einen Blick hinter die Kulissen wirft.

Jeder Cache, den Du findest oder versteckst, trägt den digitalen Fingerabdruck eines Volunteers: Freiwillige Reviewer sorgen mit dafür, dass alle Caches, die gepublisht werden, auch den Richtlinien des Spiels entsprechen. Um zu erfahren, wie die Zusammenarbeit mit Deinen lokal zuständigen Reviewern aussieht und wie man erfolgreich einen Geocache versteckt, schau Dir die Seiten “Wie verstecke ich einen Geocache?” und “Grundlagen des Versteckens eines Geocaches” an. Für weitere Informationen zur Zusammenarbeit mit einem Reviewer, wirf bitte einen Blickin den Hilfe-Bereich.

Besuch die offizielle Facebook-Seite von Geocaching, um mit uns zusammen den Volunteers einmal ein großes “Dankeschön!” für ihre Arbeit zu sagen.

requires no tools, but does require a unique perspective. Cachers logging this find also discover local wildlife like Blue Heron.  One cacher who found ‘Odyssey at Jaunita Beach’ logged, “Awesome!! 20 minutes into our first shot at it, we hit the jackpot. The credit goes to Tami, who took a ‘hands-off, take everything in’ approach and used her logic to narrow it down and make the find. This is one of the top five, most well crafted containers I’ve ever seen. My hat’s off to you!”
