Cub Scouts have a lot of fun doing a lot of interesting things!
There are games to play, codes and skills to learn, places to see and new friends to meet.
Cub Scouts all help each other, and try to help other people too. Each week they get together with other boys and girls their age and are led into adventure!
The given coordinates have brought you to our much loved Scout Hall, it was donated to us back on the 7th of May 1960 by the Kempsey Lions Club. You can park here, solve the following puzzle then walk to the caches location.
To work out the caches coordinates you need to know a little about Rudyard Kipling's, The Jungle Book.
The Jungle book provides the names for the Leaders but it also provides inspiration for many of the games and lessons learned in Cub Scouts. The Jungle Book provides excitement, and action combined with a strict moral code of the Jungle Law.
There is development of skills and the passing on of those skills to others as expressed in the stories of Mowgli: there is the lesson of the importance of physical fitness, love of nature, self-reliance, obedience, loyalty and courtesy. Therefore almost all aspects of of Cub Scout philosophy can be found in the Jungle Book.
The caches coordinates are
S 031' 04.ABC E 152' 4D.EFG
To fill in the correct numbers for the letters simply match up these very importaint Jungle Book characters to their animal.
A - Baloo
B - Akela
C - Hathi
D - Mowgli
E - Kaa
F - Shere Khan
G - Bagheera
Panther = 8
Bear = 1
Rock Python = 3
Man Cub = 9
Tiger = 3
Lone Wolf = 0
Elephant = 1
Have fun solving our little puzzle!
We have put an official Scouts Geocoin in this cache, the kids are hopeful that it will travel far and wide!!
