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.

Saw this out there and being an EAGLE scout and Vigil Honor in the O.A. decided to pick this one one up on our way to Visit Big "D" cache and put some miles on it for Thanksgiving.

I have had this bug for a while and did not know it. I was involved in an accident after the caching trip on 8-15-04 and used LSUFans notes to log my finds. Sorry I missed this one. After going by the cache 10-31-04 and seeing where I signed it out, I went home and went through the box with my personal effects from my wrecked truck. It was laid neatly in the bottom of the box. I will have this one put back out in Columbus, OH sometime today (11-01-04).

Sorry I had this so long, but I wanted to get some good mileage on it. I thought it would be neat to leave this TB in a cache near a town that has some Wisconsin connection to it, Brett Favre's hometown (Kiln, Mississippi).

Grabbed this one today after meeting up with some cachers in Indiana. I was part of the geocaching weekend with Troop 598 when this travel bug was released. I had a blast with the scouts and adults geocaching with them for the whole weekend. I'm involved in Boy Scouts as a merit badge counselor. I will help move this one closer to D.C.
