Geocache Description:

Placed to celebrate a part of our history and our culture. The guiding and scouting movement has long been a part of all of us - and everyone has been touched by it to some degree.

This is a one stage multi. Go to the coordinates, solve the simple calculation and then happy hunting.

The calculation:
There is plaque close to where you arrive at GZ.

There is a date on this plaque.
Read this as TU - V - WXYZ

For the coordinates, calculate the following:

TU minus the number of "D"'s on the plaque, minus V multiplied by (W + X). Add this to the decimal minutes of the South coordinates in the listing GZ.

Take the number of letters in the whole words in the second line, add this to V+W+X+Y+Z, and multiply this by what A zero represents. Subtract this from the decimal minutes of the East coordinates in the listing GZ.

As a check,the east decimal minutes should add to 13, the south decimals should add to 6.

And away you go...... please ensure the container (an ex marmite jar painted brown and approx 300ml) is well hidden. The yellow lid helps in locating it :)
