Lord Robert Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scout movement in Britain in 1907, and it quickly spread to many other countries. In 1909, a meeting was held in Toowoomba with a view to establishing a local scout group. There are now numerous scout groups in Toowoomba, part of a world-wide movement with about 40 million members.
Geocaching is an activity that fits well with scouting activities, and in some parts of the world, scouts can earn merit badges for their geocaching activities. Although this is not the case in Australia, geocaching activities can contribute to some of the requirements of scouting!
This cache is located near one of Toowoomba's Scout Groups, but it is not at the posted coordinates.
At the posted coordinates, there is a plaque commemorating the establishment of Drayton Scouts in the year ABCD.
The final cache can be found at S 27º 35.EFG' E 151º 55.XYZ', where:
E = B - C, F = \( {\sqrt{B} }\), G = B - \({\sqrt{C}}\), X = D, Y = \( {\sqrt{C^2 + B}}\), Z = C + A
