This cache is part of a series of five caches, each cache
represents one advancement badge in the Scout Program. I am placing
these caches as part of my Springbok Hike, the last requirement for
me to achieve the Top Award in Scouting Program. If you follow my
route you will find all the caches and completed my Springbok Hike
as well.
Pathfinder is the first Advancement badge that a scout achieves. At
this level you learn the basics in scouting such as Knotting, First
Aid, Camping, pioneering and Mapping. This is the was my first
major badge I earned it took me nine months to get it. The reason
for doing all the work was so that I could do the Senor Scout
Adventure. I learnt a lot my few camps were uncomfortable, I mean
who likes sleeping on the floor or carrying a heavy bag up a
mountain? I learnt how to tie a variety of knots and pitch a tent
as well as pack a bag properly are some of the basic skills I
learnt. Map reading is easy to do once you understand the concept.
The most important thing I learnt is a scout never roughs it in
camp, we know how to make ourselves comfortable. I learnt basic
rules of first aid namely HHH(Hazards hello help) and ABC(Airways,
Breathing, Circulation). The cache is hidden under a rock at the
co-ordinates given. See you at the next cache, I hope you enjoy
this one
