One Day. Many Communities. A World of Difference.
A little over 2 years ago georeyna a geocacher in Houston, TX asked a simple question - What could happen if geocachers around Texas came together on one day to make their communities cleaner? Based on that simple question, Texas Geocaching Association (TXGA) created an event named CITO Across Texas in conjunction with World Cleanup Day.
Geocachers throughout Texas held cleanup events on the third Saturday in September. Each event is locally organized, but together they became part of something much bigger. CITO Across Texas was born!
The results have been tremendous. During 2024 and 2025:
More than 50 CITO events were held across Texas.
More than 700 volunteers participated.
Thousands of pounds of trash were removed from parks, trails, waterways, neighborhoods, and other public spaces.
In 2026, we want to take the next step and we are inviting the worldwide community of geocachers to help clean up our game board.
CITO Across the world. Will be camping in this camp site with my Scout Troop as we do every year for the Kent House Tour Di Bayou . So I figured a CITO event would be a great way to introduce our new scouts to Geocaching. Beside this event there are several other cool caches in the area that depict an amazing History of Camp Claiborne. Come help clean up and enjoy the History lesson in the hidden caches. The camp Ground is huge, but very primative no running water but does have clean vault toilets. If we get enough will attends the Scouts might even invite you to dinner.
