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? :)
