Boy Scouts Plan Geocaching Event
KENILWORTH — Boy Scout Troop 83 in Kenilworth will be hosting a geocaching event on Saturday, Sept. 4, at the Kenilworth Veterans Center, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game for GPS users, with hundreds of thousands of active members in over 222 countries. It is a modified treasure hunt using GPS coordinates to locate the “prize” or cache. There are numerous public geocaches hidden around your community, probably very close to where you live. Many of these involve beautiful hikes and/or fun puzzles to solve to find the treasure.
Troop 83 will be positioning 12 geocaches around Kenilworth (one to represent each of the 12 values of the Scout Promise.) Boys and their families will have an opportunity to learn about and participate in geocaching as well as get more information about Troop 83.
Families can register for the free event at www.njtroop83.org/geocaching.
