1st Picnic Point Scout hall is the home of our Joey, Cub, Scout, Venture and Rover Sections. As scouts we love to try new things and experience the great outdoors and geocaching is a great way to experience the world.
Our Hall might not look like anything special but it does hold lots of great memories. You don't need to step inside the scout fence to access this geocache.
This spot can be a bit busy on scout meeting nights and parking can be a bit limited so try other times.
You can park your car at the old Picnic Point Boat shed (on Carinya Road) and walk 2.3km in a loop along the river to get all of the caches in this series. The river front is generally quiet with only local traffic (except on scout nights) and is a beautiful spot for a walk - but bring lots of bug spray.
This Geocache was installed as part of an activity for 1st Picnic Point Scouts Joeys Unit.
1st Picnic Point Scout Group can be found nestled beside the beautiful George’s River, in the amazingly green leafy suburb of Picnic Point. This location is reflected in our Group Scarf that is both green and yellow which is to represent both the bushland and beaches of our area. We have had a rich history of Scouting starting way back on the 25th of September 1958.
