Join the Gerber Scout Reservation Merit Badge Counselors for a fun weekend of Geocaching.
"Geo" means "earth" and "cache" means "hiding place". Geocaching describes a hiding place you can find using a GPS unit. Scouts and adults will will refresh their skills while learning some new ones as they work on the Geocaching Merit Badge. Participants will work together to find various geocaches throughout the camp.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own GPS device if they have one, but extras will be available.
Everyone should plan to check in at the Gerber Scout Reservation Trading Post on Friday night. Please be sure to bring your Health Forms to check-in! They will be collected and returned at pick up.
Classes will start at 7pm on Friday, so please let us know if you expect to arrive after 7pm.
Particpants will be released on Sunday after breakfast is finished areas are cleaned. Parents can plan to meet them back at the Trading Post by 9:30am.
We have 3 options for meals & housing. You may select different levels for different people in the same group:
Full Service = Sleep in a cabin, 4 Meals and 2 Cracker Barrels provided by our excellent kitchen staff & merit badge class
