Geocache Description:

just outside the Camp

A tribute to a great Scout Camp.

The Goshen Zapper is a “dangerous” caterpillar that scouts are told is poisonous and to avoid at all costs, this causes most scouts to spend the week looking for Goshen Zappers and trying to keep them as pets.

This is a fun hide easy enough for even the youngest cub scout.

Goshen is home to six Boy Scouts of America resident summer camps located near Goshen, Virginia, and is owned and operated by the National Capital Area Council. The camps are all built around Lake Merriwether.

Goshen first opened to Scouts of the National Capital Area Council in the summer of 1966. It today has six different camps with over 4,000 acres (16 km2) of land.

Goshen borders portions of the George Washington National Forest and other state parks. The reservation is about a 45 minute drive southwest of Harrisonburg; and about a 30 minute drive northwest of Lexington. The town of Goshen itself lies approximately 3 miles to the west of the reservation.
