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.

Thanks for the TB, BSAeagle60! Sounds like this may be an early geocaching experience for you. I hope you'll get involved with the hobby and have many enjoyable experiences with the hobby in the years ahead. We've been enjoying it for just about a year now. We've met many wonderful people and been to many wonderful places we'd never have visited had no one hidden a cache there. Hiding a cache is a great way to share a favorite place with the rest of the world. We'll be moving "A Scout is Cheerful" along to Mass. or NY next. We found this at a time when we very much needed the reminder that it provided us. We don't believe in coincidences, but we do believe that God works in mysterious ways. And we believe that your TB fell into our possession as part of His plan for us all. Thank you very much. CONGRATULATIONS on achieving your promotion to Eagle Scout! God bless you!

Today, I placed my travel bug, A Scout is Cheerful, in Gybing Jimmy’s Kraken Drachma. I hope it completes its mission! I could not figure out how to physically PLACE my travel bug in a cache on this website, so hopefully this will work.
