Scouts About - from Seeonee to LBP
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Camp Seeonee is Scouts Canada property located on the Northern edge of Pike Lake. A beautiful, natural area located within minutes of Saskatoon, this area serves as a prime camping location for any Scouting group that provides a forum for nature study. Heavily treed, this area is also abundant in wildlife. Beavers, deer, muskrat, rabbits and virtually every species of bird share the property with the Scouting groups.
Camp Seeonee's name comes from Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book", where the Seeonee Hills are referenced.
The cache is serving as a starting point for a container of Campfire ashes the Scouts are sending to two points, Lord Baden Powell's (LBP) birthplace in London England, and then to his final resting place in Nyeri, Kenya in St. Peter's Cemetery.
This cache is located just beyond the gates at Camp Seeonee and just off the edge of the parking lot. As damage to nature is severly frowned upon, this cache is located in such a fashion that not a branch should be broken, yet well hidden. We practice the rule at Seeonee dubbed "Akela's one finger rule" which basically means you can use 1 finger to touch something in nature, but using two or more means you could damage it.
The Beavers/Cub/Scouts have created many crafts to donate to caching, so please if you find something help yourself, and trade something back in. Scouting related items are wonderful and preferred, but whatever suits your situation is great.
Photos are especially encouraged, many members of Scouting are monitoring this cache. We would really enjoy other groups visiting the cache and sharing their photos.
Please practice "cache in trash out", and LNT (leave no trace). Please park outside the gates and just walk in.
Thanks for visiting!
