Lord Robert Baden-Powell founded the Boy Scout movement in Britain in 1907, and it quickly spread to many other countries. By 1938, at least 30 Scout groups existed in the various towns of the Darling Downs, including Pittsworth. Scouting on the Darling Downs continues to thrive, 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 the Pittsworth Scout Group, but it is not at the posted coordinates.
The posted coordinates take you to the entrance to the Pittsworth Scouts property. A sign here indicates that the Scouts Section meets at A:BC pm on Day D (Sunday = 1), and the Cubs Section finishes at E:FG pm.
The final cache can be found at S 27º 43.PQR' E 151º 37.XYZ', where:
P = B
Q = E
R = \( {\sqrt[3]{E}}\)
X = \( {\sqrt{(D + G)*(E + C) + 1}}\)
Y = E/2
Z = A / B
(Checksum: P + Q = 11; R + X = 9, Y + Z = 6)
