Geocaching on Elf Lane

Our girls learned all about geocaching!  Thanks to our community library, who provided us with a guide (thanks Darlene), GPS devices and compasses, we navigated our way along Elf Lane, and found several geocache goodies!  It was great compass review for the girls, and a perfect day to be out exploring!  Living in the mountains certainly has its benefits!  To read more about our adventures, check out our blog!  🙂

Troop 607 in Service Unit 13, enjoyed earning the Junior Geocaching badge so much, that they decided to make it a part of their Bronze Award Project. The second year Juniors, created and followed a budget. They had to choose which GPS units would be easy to use for girls of all ages, learn how to effectively use those units to issue directions for other girls, decide what kind of geocaches to place and where to place them.

Then came the fun part! The girls created swaps to share in one of the geocaches and placed the geocaches at Sky High Ranch.

The 2nd year Juniors can’t wait to have troops that go to Sky High learn how much fun geocaching can be.
