Current Goal

The mission of this travel bug, A Scout is Cheerful, is to travel to all 48 contiguous states in the United States of America.

About This Item

This Travel Bug was released by BSAeagle60 as part of the Geocaching Merit Badge in Milford, Connecticut.  Requirement 8B requires a scout to release a scouting-related travel bug into the world of geocaching, and monitor its activity.  The owner, myself, is an Eagle Scout, and Geocaching was the 76th and final merit badge earned before my advancement was forced to a halt by the arrival of my eighteenth birthday in January 2014; Scouts cannot advance after their eighteenth birthdays.  The 8th point of the Boy Scout law states that "A Scout is Cheerful."  A Scout is cheerful as he does his good turn daily, and a scout helps others to be cheerful.  I hope that this bug is able to make geocachers around the country a little happier.

    I thank everyone for all your work moving my TB around the Northeast. So far it has hit three states: Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts. Only 45 more to go! I have not stopped monitoring its activity and receive e-mails each time someone posts an update. I love hearing about its activities! I promise to become more active in Geocaching when I am not busy with schoolwork and everything. It is a very interesting field that I am glad to have discovered.
    I have earned the Geocaching Merit Badge and have turned 18, and it is a good thing the badge does not depend on the TB completing its mission. I am still looking forward to hearing about its visit to the 48th state, as I still believe it is possible for it to be completed and that it will be completed! It just may take some time, as I can see because it hasn't moved very far yet. I am glad that it has been there for you all to read and I am glad that so many people have been a part of its long journey so far.
    A suggestion: I think it would be a good idea to knock off the rest of the northeastern states before it travels out west, although I am traveling to Kentucky in June and wonder if I should try to pick it up and move it to a new area of the country - Currently its located only a few towns over from its starting location. I will continue to think about this and post any necessary updates, and if it is not moved before June 20th I may consider moving it. However, I hope to hear about an update well before then as the weather warms up for Geocaching! Happy caching!
