Geocache Description:

This cache was placed by Girl Scout Troop 3386 as a part of our Silver Award. The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn. It shows that they are organized and determined leaders that are dedicated to improving the community.


This cache is the final cache. The three other caches (GCSTHM3, GC5THNQ, and GC5THN1) will give clues to the coordinates to this cache. The coordinates show above are NOT the actual coordinates for this cache, but they are for a parking lot within Dorsey Park.

Each of the geocaches have a girl scout theme connected to them. All have an overarching theme of "Girl Scouts is more than cookies". Each cache is created to teach the geocacher more about Girl Scouts. Some of the caches will have an assortment of swaps placed inside them relating to that theme.

This cache has a theme of Foundation of Girl Scouts. Foundation of Girl Scouts is using the traits of a girl scout to help you accomplish many things. It helps girls overcome challenges and obstacles. This also helps girls accomplish things they'd never thought they could. This brings out many important qualities in a girl scout that will help them go far in life.

Learning the foundation of Girl Scouts will help you learn the traits that will help you accomplish many things that will take you to the greatest heights you could ever imagine.

Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

This cache is placed in Dorsey Park. Facilities in this park include tennis and basketball courts, soccer fields, baseball fields, a playground, bathrooms, and a pavilion. Parking is also available and the location will be shown below.

The three caches before this one will have letters that you will have to unscamble once you collect all 9 letters. Once you unscamble the letters to find the word(s), you will use the decoder to convert the letters to numbers. Then, you place the numbers in the blanks (one number per blank) to find the actual coordinates of the geocache.
