Boy Scouts of America show off new geocaching merit badge
“For Boy Scouts who are geocaching enthusiasts, a merit badge that rewards their passion is icing on the cake. For guys who haven’t experienced geocaching, the merit badge represents the perfect opportunity to ‘Get in the Game’ – the BSA’s centennial-year program meant to fire boys up for geocaching.”
Here are just some of the great things that Scouts will learn while earning their Geocaching merit badge:
*Precautions necessary to have a safe time while searching for geocaches
*Geocaching etiquette and how the principles of Leave No Trace apply
*Geocaching terms
*How GPS technology works
*Steps for finding and logging a cache
“But it isn’t all ‘classroom work.’ The majority of the merit badge involves Scouts searching for geocaches. They’ll also have the opportunity to create and hide their own caches.”
