      We just completed our September drawing for the commemorative BSA Geocoins.

      The winners for September are…

      DaYooper and

      One Paddle Short

      Congratulations to the winners.

      Keep those BSA cards coming in as we still have enough coins to keep the drawing going until February or March.

            Come cache in the wausau area and look for the

            Rib Mountain District: Cache To Eagle

            and

            Pillars of Scouting:

            in some of these are post cards that you can drop off at the scout office on hwy x(camp phillips rd) and be entered into a drawing for them.

            Not sure how many they have left to hand out.

                We have also found these postcards in a cache near the Madison area. Probably the different area councils take care of their region.

                Congrats, guys!

                  I take care of the Glacier’s Edge Council caches. The caches with entry cards in them are “Treasures of Scouting” caches. There are also “Cache to eagle” caches. Those you can earn a cool patch from. There are special travel bug tags that each council released. There were 5 tags, 1 each of Leadership, Character, Achievement, Service and Outdoors. You can find them by searching Pillars of Scouting.
                  Find the Glacier’s Edge Council caches from this linkhttp://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?tx=32bc9333-5e52-4957-b0f6-5a2c8fc7b257&u=Glacier’sEdgeCouncil
                  Good luck

                    I believe the Treasures of Scouting are a Cub Scout program. In Samoset Council we set up caches for each of the Pillars of Scouting to start off the travel bugs from. Currently one is in Ohio, one is in Virginia, one is in Japan, one is in South Dakota, and one is in my truck 😀 I’ll be placing it in a cache after the event in Wausau on Sunday.

                    All opinions, comments, and useless drivel I post are mine alone and do not reflect the opinions of the WGA BOD.

                      Treasures of Scouting is a program that highlites all scouting programs. Those include,
                      Cache to Cub Scouts: The Cub Scouting program is uniquely designed to meet the needs of young boys and their parents, offering fun and challenging experiences that inspire confidence and teach important values.

                      Action! Boy Scouts: In the Boy Scout program, boys (ages 11-17) learn and grow through the experiences of camping, hiking, building projects, and community service. Scouting fosters self-esteem, a sense of value and belonging, a sense of accountability, and teamwork. It’s also fun!

                      AdVenturing Crew: The Venturing program is unique because it uses extreme outdoor adventure as the method for building character, peer-to-peer bonds, and independence. It’s open to young men and women between the ages of 14 and 20.

                      Volunteer Quest: Scouting volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, but all are committed to one thing — leading youth to become responsible, caring, and competent citizens.

                      BSA Alumni Connection: If you are—or have ever been—active in Scouting, we invite you to reconnect at http://www.BSAalumni.org. You were there for the first 100 years, now join us for the next century of Scouting!

                      Good luck in finding them and dont forget your entry for the geo coin.

                        Very cool program, glad to see its still going strong. Never made it past Cub scouts myself.
