- I will be glad to help. I had a lot of fun when I was in Boy Scouts and Explorers. Spent a lot of time at Beaumont and S-F Ranch.

We have a meeting once a month and usually have 2 training topics that we cover. These topics are then taken back to the individual units and discussed with the boys. Each month we have a national suggested theme and then we have a special feature. If any of you have ever been involved in Scouts as a leader you lknow what I am talking about. I would like to see if maybe I could get SLAGA to come out and do a presentation in February? I think it would be good to get this sport out to the scout leaders in my area to get the scouts more involved with this. Currently, map and compass skills are a must for the advancement of scouts. You could still use map and compass skills and reinforce it with a cache waiting at the final destination. I don't think too many leaders know about this. I have had several conversations with leaders who find it interesting and would like to know more. There was an article in "The Dufflebag" about Geocaching and told about some caches that were hidden on Scout property like Beaumont and S-F. Some leaders asked me about it last month so I know that there is an interest there. If you are interested in doing a presentation to 75-100 Scout leaders, please let me know. I can arrange the time and whatever presentation items you might need. Our February meeting is scheduled for Feb. 4th - 7:15PM Fort Zumwalt North Middle School. Email me at griff@xxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks!
