Girl Scout Geocaching

For our final badge of the year, we took our Brownie troop Geocaching.  What a blast!  We turned it into a family event, so moms, dads, and siblings tagged along too.  We hiked for a few miles on a beautiful day, found two caches, and to top it off, created and hid our own!  Now geocachers from all over can find our troop cache, and we can monitor online how many searchers have located it!  Super fun!

The girls had to use team work, cooperation, map skills, and even GPS to locate their finds.  Way to go, girls!

 This was our cache that we hid!

 The younger siblings were PSYCHED to be a part of this one!




 They sent little brother Max under the bridge to retrieve the first cache!



Sun + hiking + geocaching + popsicles = HAPPY KIDS!
