I am a Geocaching Merit Badge Councilor as well as a Tiger Den
Leader with Pack 73 and an ASM with Troop 73. I invite all scouts,
families, and cachers to come learn and teach the basics of our
hobby.
Coords will put you on the road that leads to parking, right off
Glenside Ave. We will meet in the picnic area before moving off
into the woods. EVENT BEGINS AT 11:00AM
Cachers, please bring your GPSr and perhaps a container of some
type so we can teach the scouts and youngsters about different
types of hides. I will also cover longitude/ latitude, conversions,
first aid, and many of the requirements for the merit badge. I
welcome assistance in showing how to use a GPSr, and we will find a
few of the different caches in the area.
I welcome all to bring bugs and coins so we can explain how
tracking works.
Finally, I believe we can fit in a hide close by and launch a BSA
travel bug.
Cachers, please log a note with your intentions on attendance so I
can get an idea of how much help to expect.
I expect the event to end by 1:30pm. Bring your own lunch.
http://scoutingmag.typepad.com/files/geocaching_mb.pdf has the
Geocaching merit badge requirements. I will bring blue
cards..
I have just learned that much of what we will be covering will
qualify for the Hi Tech Hide and Seek IP for the Girl Scouts.
Another reason to attend!
