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?  :)
