The Boy Scouts of America is celebrating it's 100 years of Scouting (1910-2010) this year, and also it just put out a Geocaching Merit Badge, so Troop 575 with their Scoutmaster from the BISHOPCREW is putting out their very first cache in commemoration of the event!
***CONGRATULATIONS SIX LITTLE SPOOKIES ON THE FTF***
It's a ammo can (original contents) full of scouting outdoors stuff, like a compass, sporks, flashlights, fishing line, bobbers, poison ivy relief spray, a bear bell, carabiners, whistle, zipper pull replacements, and... THE ULTIMATE PRIZE for the FTF a Troop 575 T-Shirt, with a bonus FTF pin! The troop all signed the log book but there is a place for the real FTF so when you see all those names don't fear hopefully the FTF spot is still free, good luck, and happy searching!
Troop 575's Yell and Standard: "We don't go picken' daisies with Momma's boys." Boy Scout Motto: Be Prepared!
