Geocache Description:

The MSC CITO will be a traditional Cache-In Trash-Out event held in the City of Auburn on August 9th, 2014. CITO Headquarters will be at the posted coordinates, the Auburn Parks & Recreation Department at Pettengill Park. Attendees will collect trash and illicitly dumped junk from public lands located across the city. Prizes and goodies will be given to all attendees.


Team Norac and Troop 160 Memorial Scout Camp are continuing the CITO tradition that started in 2009 with Jeremy Bernier's Eagle Project, the Twin City CITO.  For 2014, the City of Auburn and Troop 160 Memorial Scout Camp are teaming up to organize another citywide cleanup event.

This listing will be updated with more information about the CITO as it becomes available.

THE NEED:
There are presently more than 450 active geocaches within a 10 mile radius of the "MSC CITO" Headquarters. Many of these caches are hidden in city owned parks and along trails systems that are located on public lands. Most of these caches have one thing in common...There is litter, trash, and improperly disposed of household junk nearby.

THE FORMAT:
* All participants will be asked to register at the CITO Headquarters.
* All participants will be registered in teams. Teams may consist of any number of people.

* "CITO Hot Spots" will be identified at CITO Headquarters.
* Trash bags and vinyl gloves will be supplied.
* Participants will be asked to bring collected trash / junk to the CITO Headquarters.
* Participants who find items too big or heavy to be handled alone or too large to be carried in their vehicle, may call CITO Headquarters for assistance/pick-up.
* All participants should return to CITO Headquarters by 3:00 PM for final check-in and the closing assembly / awards presentation.
