Merit Badge ... Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

retiredprof: In light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all 150 of my challenge caches. I am a retired psychology professor, not a computer programmer. I am simply unable to comply with the new geochecker rules. I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.

Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden along the Bear River, about one-third mile from the parking area (see coordinates below). Be sure to note the important logging requirements below.

************LOGGING REQUIREMENTS************

The purpose of this cache (my 400th puzzle placement) is to honor the many fine youngsters and their dedicated leaders that have kept scouting alive during the past century. The Boy Scouts celebrated their 100th anniversary last year, and the Girl Scouts will do the same next year. Your task is to find 25 caches that have been placed by scouts or that have scouting as their theme. Be sure to include at least two Girl Scout caches, and at least three Cache to Eagle caches.

There is no time limit, you may have already found the required caches. When logging this cache, list your requisite cache-finds as shown below...and include three categories (icons) in your list. And, remember... to be prepared and to do a good deed daily...
