It was Pat Marchink. We've had a discussion about incorporating it into the
program along with the orienteering program. He's looking for input. I was
going to give him your name, but I keep forgetting to ask you about it. I
wasn't sure if it would be more appropriate as a club project or as a Scouter
project. Bridget's post reminded me about it. He's also willing to place a
cache at Beaumont (only available to Scouts/Scouters) but he wanted to know
what area(s) would be considered, etc.

Would this be with Kathy Carrier? I know all the council people and they have
never mentioned Geocaching to me.. We do promote it at many pack and troop
meetings. Let me know and I will be happy to assist..

I think it's only a matter of time before it's a household word.
Thanks for making the trip, Bridget, to keep us informed :)
I also know that the Boy Scout Council here in St. Louis is looking for
help to incorporate Geocaching into the Boy Scout Program. I have been too
busy the past week to act on this, but if there is anyone interested in meeting
with the person in charge of activities for the Boy Scouts for whole the St.
Louis area, let me know and I can get a meeting set up.

Last Tuesday evening I had an opportunity to visit another scout district
than my own. (A district is like a county) The district I went to was New
Horizons in which Jim Williams attends. I was making announcements for Tiger
Day (the annual cub scout event I put on out by Eureka). I made announcements
on the Boy Scout side first (in which I got to say hi to Jim) then went over to
the Cub Scout side. As I was waiting for my turn on the Cub Scout side, the
group was talking about activities that their packs could do in the summertime.
They named off various activities. Then they talked about Geocaching. It
seems there was a cacher in the crowd besides me. Unfortunately, I could not
stay until their meeting was over so I could meet this cacher. (Maybe I
already know him, but from where I was sitting I could not see him.) There
must have been over sixty adults there.
So, I just wanted everyone to know that geocaching was mentioned as a
child friendly activity that cub scout packs could do together in the
summertime. Pretty soon, geocaching will be a household word. What do you
think? :)
