Objective:
Learn how to geocache or letterbox, and then go out and find one.
Details:
Quest Scouts find objectives often (but not always) center the activities of geocaching and/or letterboxing. If you’re new here, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with one (or both) of these hobbies. (And for those who are old hat at this, this objective will be an easy one!)
1) If you are not familiar with geocaching and/or letterboxing, now is your chance to learn about them. First, watch the videos below:
2) After watching the videos above, choose which hobby you’d like to try out for this objective. Depending on which you’ve chosen, check out the Geocaching or Atlas Quest (aka letterboxing) website to further familiarize yourself.
3) Identify a hide* you’d like to search for.
4) Make the find!
5) Document your adventure with a photograph and post it in our Facebook Group.
6) Along with your photo, tell us about your adventure!
Let us know:
Was this your first ever find?
What geocache/letterbox did you find? (Provide GC/AQ number if relevant.)
Did anything interesting happen while you were searching?
*At Quest Scouts we use the term “hide” as an inclusive term that means either a geocache or a letterbox.
