Before I can take on the task of getting the troop and crew pumped up about geocaching, I have to master it. Ok, I have to at least have a better idea of what I am doing. I have tried to get prepared by glancing through my book on geocaching (Scout Shop), training (thanks [...]

Don’t forget to include the local scout shop on your list of places to go when gathering items for your vacations this summer. Have your scout ask the advancement chair to print a list of his merit badges and work with the scout to figure out what can be worked into the trip. If there [...]
