The four caches in this series were created for an Introduction
to Geocaching session for the local Woodcraft Folk.
The Woodcraft Folk was established as an educational movement
and charity in 1925, for children and young people – both girls and
boys - designed to develop self-confidence and activity in society,
with the aim of building a world based on equality, peace, social
justice and co-operation.
Woodcraft Folk groups meet weekly, enjoying a varied programme
including games, drama, discussion, projects, crafts, singing and
dancing, as well as following an educational programme based on
awareness of issues both local and global.
Group nights usually last between one and two hours, depending
on the age of the children or young people. We divide our groups by
age:
Under sixes are known as 'Woodchips'
Six to nine year olds are known as 'Elfins'
Ten to twelve year olds are 'Pioneers'
Thirteen to fifteen year olds
are'Venturers'
