The BSA is not ignorant of geocaching. While I don't know if there will be a geocaching MB (takes some time to create a new MB, prehaps an extension of the current Orientering one will do), they have made use of geocaching: Geocaching was a new event made available at the subcamps at the recent National Scout Jamboree, done in partnership with Magellian. Geocaching is part of the new leadership training event for boy scout youth leaders called National Youth Leadership Training. In fact, some scout leaders were a little annoyed at that, as they are concerned of the cost of GPSr and their ability to obtain these for their courses. Within the Venturing program (co-ed 14-21 program), many are doing geocaching events as part of Venturing events. (yes, I'm a BSA member).

It depends on where you're going. If you're going to hit the caches in city parks or urban areas, etc, tennis shoes should be fine. If you're hitting the wilder area, some kind of hiking boats (or a little sturdier shoes) will help. Water proofing shouldn't be an issues, unless you have to deal with big puddles or the like and can't go around them. Hope this helps.

Sure, that's a simple typo. The only problem is that they had the entire decription of the Legend C in there. I know very well that that won't make a difference to them, but I also don't have to shop there and have no problem making that clear. This is walking a REAL close line of the "bait-and-switch" that Trader Horn and TOPS used to use a few years back. Correct. The listing said Legend C and the description was accurate for a Legend C. As of a couple of days ago the listing was now for a Legend, with the appropriate description. They no longer have any listing for a Legend C.
