Geocache Description:

This is one of the three 100th Anniversay of Girl Scout Caches. This is the Tenderfoot Cache.

In honor of the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting in 2012 I have decided to hide three caches (GC3HVZ7 & GC3HVZE are the others). Each one has 12 of the original 36 badges that girls could earn from the original 1913 Girl Scout Handbook.
When you find one of the caches you can either take/leave the traditional trading items or you can take one of the laminated badges and plant a new cache. If you choose to do this, please plant the cache near something that symbolizes the patch that you took. For example, if you took the "Artist" badge, you may want to locate your new cache near a site that has something to do with art like a museum or artist studio. Please be creative but be sure that you follow the rules for placing geocaches. Please name your new cache "100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting - Badge Name". In your description of your cache please include the details of what it took for girls to earn that badge. Some of them are quite interesting! Please e-mail me and let me know where you hid your seed cache so I can go visit it! I can't wait to find out where all of these end up!
