Geocache Description:

The 5th and final puzzle in the Logic Puzzle Series.  Are you smarter than a Boy or Girl Scout?
The Heart of Virginia Council turns 100 in 2013 as well as the Girl Scouts.


Eight sets of brothers and sisters were in boy scouts, explorer troops, and girls scouts. Though the troops were different, they shared the same number since hosted by the same church.
They were, 281, 550, 569, 621, 700, 738, 827, 967.

The Scout's last names are Bishop, Brown, Cole, Hill, Jones, Meyer, Smith, and Wooten.  Their First names are Adam,Alex, Amanda, Amy, Ashley, Bryce, Cindy, Claire, Isabelle, James, John, Kate, Mark, Nick, Robert, and Sarah.

Each Scout is working on a different Merit badge, they are American Heritage, Camping, Child Care, Citizenship, Communications, Equestrian, First Aid, Fitness, Hiking, Life Saving, Pet Care, Photography, Robotics, Scuba Diving, Search and Rescue, and Swimming.

Each scout works community service hours each year.  These scouts helped four charities: Caritas, The Food Bank, The James River, and Race for a Cure.  The newest and youngest scout had only worked 10 hours, while the oldest scout had worked 85.  All other scouts were 5 hour increments between the two. Brother and Sister worked on different charities
