Found this on the Boys Scouts website. It does sound like fun! Here is a link to the full story.
Get in the Game! with Geocaching
For our 100th Anniversary Celebration, the BSA is tapping into the fun and excitement of geocaching and inviting you along. Through Get in the Game! geocaching events, Scouts and non-Scouts alike will search for prizes in this fast-paced outdoor quest. It’s a great way to share Scouting skills — and adventure — with today’s tech savvy kids.
What is geocaching?
Put simply, it’s a high-tech treasure hunt. Players hide containers, called “caches” or “geocaches,” outdoors and then share the coordinates. Then, other players seek them out using GPS navigation devices. It’s fun, challenging, and interesting for individuals, families, and groups.
To get our family more active we do 1 to 2 scavenger hunt a month, both indoor or out, using items from around the house.
What’s the name of the theme are you using? I’ve been trying to find some thing similar and would adore to use this on my web site.
Jacqueline, I am using the theme “Sockets” created by Brian McCullough. You can find it on themeforest dot net.
