The scout troop worked on the geocaching merit badge tonight. Don't know what geocaching is? Well, put simply, it is a high tech treasure hunting. Small containers are all over the world that contain at least a log, and usually some trinkets and sometimes a trackable. Nothing of real value. GPS coordinates are logged into an official web site and the cache is active. Whenever and wherever you are, you can search for these treasures, log that you found them, take (and leave) something. A fun activity that gets you outside and allows you to spend time together.
Troop 980 is in the process of placing a cache at the church. We are placing a trackable item with a hitch hiker. Ours is a compass, being we are scouts. This trackable could, and hopefully will, travel the world.
Be sure to ask the boys about their cache and maybe they will take you to where it is at the church.
