Thank you for signing up for the Geocaching MB at CAP! A minimum of 4 Scouts is required for this course to run.

Please note the following:

  • Scout must bring a signed Blue Card
  • Please bring paper and pencil
  • Please bring a signed BSA Health Form at check in
  • Lunch is not provided- please bring a sack lunch and drink

To receive the merit badge Scouts will need to do the following before class:

7. With your parent's permission*, go to www.geocaching.com. Type in your city and state to locate public geocaches in your area. Share the posted information about three of those geocaches with your counselor. Then, pick one of the three and find the cache.


*To fulfill this requirement, you will need to set up a free user account with www.geocaching.com. Ask your parent for permission and help before you do so. Your Scout will only need the free account, you do not have to pay for an account unless you would like! *

We also ask scouts to bring small trinkets or something to fit in the jar that will be used for a group geocache (this will be for req. 8c which will be done in class.) These trinkets are not required but can be pretty fun!

8. c. Set up and hide a public geocache, following the guidelines in the Geocaching merit badge pamphlet. Before doing so, share with your counselor a maintenance plan for the geocache where you are personally responsible for the maintenance.

If your Scout has anything from past geocaching they can bring that as well.

We need to have a minimum of 4 Scouts registered for the course to hold.

This class will be held at Donald E. Scott Colorado Adventure Point. Colorado Adventure Point is located on the west side of Hamilton Scout Headquarters.
