The girls learned that geocaching is a high-tech scavenger hunt where people hide items and log their latitude and longitude coordinates. People hunting for caches use GPS devices to find the spot near where things are hidden, based on their coordinates. But it takes a sharp pair of eyes to find things that are tiny, magnetized to fit under things, behind things, and camouflaged to blend in with leaves and dirt!
Our girls did amazingly well on their first time geocaching, proving they are natural detectives and work well together! After finding five caches scattered around Centennial Park, they decided they want to "pay it forward" by teaching the girls who weren't able to join us about geocaching in the spring. They also want to hide our own troop geocache for others to find! We can't wait!
We enjoyed hot cocoa after our hard work finding hidden treasure!
Here are some photos from our adventure:
