Geocache Description:

The cache is not hidden in or near the dry stone wall. Please do NOT cross the wall to find this this cache.

This is a medium sized cache, sited along a local footpath with views over the Wharfedale valley, the railway viaduct and Almscliff Crag can be seen.

Although this geo-cache is a traditional cache in its own right, it is also part of the Scouting Around series and it will provide one of the clues needed to find the Network cache.
You may wish to refer to that cache before visiting this one.

You will need to make a note of a word related to the Scouting section that the cache is named after which you will find on the underside of the lid of the cache and in the front of the logbook.
You will also need the words that can be found in these other caches:

 Scouting celebrates its centenary in 2007 and so this series of five caches has been set, one for each section, to help to celebrate this milestone.
The first experimental scout camp was held for 8 days on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour in August of 1907 and there the boys learnt to survive in the wild, and how to live by a code of honour. Nowadays The World Organisation of Scout Movements has 150 member organisations. Scouting is now in all but five countries in the world, it also has girls as members.

The Scout Section is for young people, usually aged between 10½ and 14 years. A young person can come in to the Troop at 10 and may stay until they are 15 years old. The Scout Troop is the third Section in the Scout Group.

Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme. "Participation" rather than meeting set standards is the key approach and for the Scout who wants to be recognised for his or her achievements there are a number of Challenges Awards and Activity Badges. Scouts take part in a balanced programme that helps them to find out about the world in which they live, encourages them to know their own abilities and the importance of keeping fit and helps develop their creative talents. It also provides opportunities to explore their own values and personal attitudes.

Thanks to Harrogate Hunters for the use of their idea.
