their 100th anniversary as a way to get more boys outdoors and
to promote geocaching to the scouting community. We are
holding a Geo-Scouting 101 "class" to introduce scouting units
(packs, troops and crews) to geocaching. You can come with
your scouting unit or come as a geocacher. Everyone is welcome to
come learn or help teach others. So please join
