About This Item

Boy Scouts of America medallion

This travel bug is a medaliion with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) logo on one side, and the Scout Oath on the other side. Ideally, I'd like to see people affiliated with BSA pick up and move this bug.

If you are a Boy Scout now, were a Boy Scout at one time, or are involved in leadership with BSA, please record your troop number, rank, location of your troop, and anything else you'd like to share about your experience with BSA.

Ultimately, I'd like this travel bug to end up in a cache close to Fort AP Hill Military Base, just North of Bowling Green, VA by and around July 25, 2005. This is the site and first date of BSA's National Jamboree, which only takes place every 4 years (see (visit link) My son, Psycho Psnooper, will be attending this Jamboree, and the rest of the family will be taking a vacation to the Washington DC area and visiting him during the jamboree. It would be very cool if we could find our own travel bug while in the area.

This bug is going to be launched on March 20, 2004, during our local troop's next weekend outing. Our theme for the outing is "geocaching", and I'm sure the boys will get a charge out of seeing the "hike" this travel bug takes. This bug is affiliated with Troop 598 from Hales Corners, Wisconsin - just outside of Milwaukee.

This TB has completed its mission - a round trip to the National Jamboree and back home to Troop 598.

Our troop has a geocaching outing planned for March 2006. We'll relaunch this TB with a new Goal and Mission.

Thanks to everyone who kept this bug moving and contributed their stories about the Scouting experience.

The bug is safely in my hands. My husband, Erie Scouter, and I saw it had not moved since April and decided to rescue this bug so it can complete its mission. We are both on Jamboree staff and wanted to get the bug to its owner. The bug may visit the Mission 7 APE cache on the way to Jamboree.

I am working at 'Visitor Information', please stop by to pick up your bug. It will be great to meet another cacher. Did you know that there will be geocaching in the subcamps?

Bug in footlocker. 😁
