Geocache Description:


This multi-cache was placed by 3rd Farnborough Scouts who have been working on their Geocaching badge.

Good luck!

At 3rd Farnborough, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life.  We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more.

This geocache is named after the colour of our original neckerchief - Powder Blue.  The HQ that you can see was built with the help of the Parachute Regiment, and was opened on October 30th, 1965, and as a tribute and thank you, we then added a maroon border to our neckerchief, so that our colours matched those of the Parachute Regiment.  We even had our own anthem!

We're Third Farnborough Anthem
