Scoutboy6 Hits 500! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

jdawg87: Since the lock inside the cache cost $30 and I've already lost two of them, I've decided to archive this one. Very sad since this was my first puzzle cache. If anyone's interested, the key to figuring out the combination was to use the Scout Laws that were listed in the cache: Friendly, Kind, Helpful, Cheerful and Courteous. Then you just have to know what order they are:
1 - Trustworthy
2 - Loyal
3 - Helpful
4 - Friendly
5 - Courteous
6 - Kind
7 - Obedient
8 - Cheerful
9 - Thrifty
10 - Brave
11 - Clean
12 - Reverent

Therefore, the code is: 4, 6, 3, 8, 5 and you could have entered them in any order 3, 4, 5, 6, 8.

Thanks to all who visited!

Geocache Description:

This cache is to commemorate Scoutboy6’s Mom hitting 500!  There’s a geo-coin at the GZ for her to take.


The cache IS at the posted coordinates.  I know, I left it there.  But the log is locked up inside of the cache and if you don't sign the log, you don't get the smiley! This means that this is a field puzzle.

I met Scoutboy6’s mom about four years ago as Leaders in Pack 10.  We were both into Scouting, so we hit it off right away.  She was very friendly and we quickly became friends.  One of the many things I like about her is that she was kind enough to introduce me to geocaching and was very helpful in helping me find my first few caches.  She also introduced Girl Scout Troop 20720 to geocaching.  Go check out their geocache while you're in the area (GC4C2TP).  She's really into Scouting and geocaching!  I think we found six or seven caches that first day!  I think I found nine on my own the next day too!  She also explained that to write a good log, it needed to be cheerful and upbeat.  Being courteous to the cache owners who put time in effort into placing the cache is very important.

When you enter the five numbers into the geo-checker, enter them in numerical order (not necessarily in the order you found them on the cache page).


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
