Help with WINTEREE/CHILL-eree Cub Scout event

[Natloh2]

This event is being held February 5th from 8:30 am to approx 1:00 pm at Badger Prairie Park east of Verona, Wisconsin. The Cub Scouts will move from event stations to event station in 15 to 30 minute intervals, geocaching is going to be one of the events. What I am looking for are five to ten volunteers to help run a geocaching event station. What I am planning on doing is hiding five caches, just out of sight of the event station. Have one or two volunteers with there GPSr preloaded with the coordinate of one of the caches and have the group of up to eight cub scouts find there cache. I don’t see that much teaching will be involved, not enough time. Keep it simple and have fun. There will be a shelter near by and hot soup.

Volunteers signed up:
Cachew
Hotdogs Off Trail
Sbukosky
LightningBugs
Pharmteam
Cashing Out
Linus4Cache
Trudy & the Beast

Unfortunately I have to work that day. I’d absolutely love to help out, but these never seem to happen on my off days

Alan, I think it’s great that you are willing to help show these kids the fun of Geocaching. Your a credit to the WGA

[Hotdogs_Off_Trail]

Add at least one Hotdog to your helper list. Do you think it would be advantagious to give the Scout leaders any advance info to prepare the Cubs a little??

I don’t seem to have any reason not to help so put me down and tell me more. I’ve got a total of three GPS units that I can bring.

Hi Alan,
We can be there, but we may be a few minutes late. Geoff is a Cub Scout – I’m sure he would be willing to work with the boys and share his “expertise”

[pharmteam]

We will both plan on being there to help.

[Cashing Out]

Alan…I would be glad to help. Count me in.

[Linus4Cache]

I’m in if you can use another person.

[Cachew]

I can contribute 3 gpsr’s to the cause.

[Natloh2]

Thanks everybody for your help! The more volunteers we have the easier it will be for all.

[Linus4Cache]

Hmmmm…where are the rest of the Team Badger member names? We like to volunteer to help other cachers, right guys? …and girls…

[Ray]

Cool,
Trudy says I can go, she might come along too. Count on a couple more GPSRs in the mix, as well.

I may be in the area and I may swing by. Karen of Pharmteam forwarded the email with the numbers (as of about a week ago) to cover such an eventuality.

One of us was always guarding the ’cachr-fud’ (doughnuts)


Samples of containers. Today’s hides were not cruel.


Puzzle 1: of these devices which does not belong.
Puzzle 2: of the rest, which is different.
