Geocache Description:





Get in the Game! Race to 2010.



In celebration of our 100th Anniversary, we showcase one of our most popular activities for Cub Scouts — and a true Scouting icon — the Pinewood Derby.
Pinewood derby cars representing councils, districts, and units across the country will race towards the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.




Pinewood Derby cars will race across America using geocaching. The cars will be Travel Bugs®, moving from cache to cache. The finish line? Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia for the 2010 National Scout Jamboree! All of the Pinewood Derby cars that arrive at the Jamboree will be displayed in a special geocaching area in Technology Quest. After the Jamboree, the cars will be released to continue their race … around the world.

The official start of the race is March 6. We are launching our car along with this new cache in celebration of 100 years of Scouting in the U.S.A. The car will be gone shortly but there is plenty of Scout stuff to be traded including a prize for FTF.

Why here? We've enjoyed camping here as a Pack. There are nice camping facilities with wide open spaces for the boys to burn off all the s'mores we've made over the fire, good fishing, and hiking trails for the Webelos to get their 3-mile hike done.
