This is a special cache placed in order to release a special Boy Scouts of America “Get In The Game!” Race to 2010 Travel Bug. Placed in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Scouting in America, this Travel Bug showcases one of the most popular activities for Cub Scouts – and a true Scouting icon– the Pinewood Derby.

This car, representing the Lake Cumberland District of the Blue Grass Council of Kentucky, hoped to race across America and reach the finish line at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia for the National Scout Jamboree in July 2010. UPDATE: It didn't make it! All cars arriving at the Jamboree were displayed in the Technology Quest area, and later released to continue their race … around the world.
This activity was part of the Get In The Game! program, a collaborative effort of the Boy Scouts of America and Geocaching.com, a Groundspeak project.
To reach the cache from KY 80 you will need to turn onto Ross Street, the first street west of the KY 914 stoplight. This is also the access road for the Pulaski County Animal Shelter. Plenty of parking is available at the base of the sign, located at the corner of Adopt Me Lane.
The cache IS NOT located on or immediately adjacent to the sign. You will have to enter the wooded area and slowly twist and turn to avoid getting tattooed by the numerous sticker bushes that grow here in the spring and summer. It can be done, and the kids will love this adventure!
