Geocache Description:


On the 22nd June 2025 Tarvin Brownies will have been going strong for Fifty years.

To celebrate we have set up a geocaching trail. We have made it as easy as possible so that the Brownies and Guides will be able to find the caches without too much trouble. There will be a number of straight forward jigidis, easy quizzes and in some cases we will just tell you where the cache is. None of the caches are at the posted co-ordinates

Most of the caches are on quiet roads or paths, although there is a busier section of road in places

 

Brownie Leaders are all named after owls, with the main leader always being called Brown Owl with others maybe being Snowy, Tawny, Barn Owl. The name Brown Owl goes back to Juliana Horatia Ewing's story "The Brownies,"  In the story the adult overseeing the helpful little brownies is called Brown Owl. It also suggests that the leader would be a wise and watchful guide, much like an owl, helping the girls on their journey. 

To find this cache solve the puzzle

Brown (Tawny) Owl
