I couldn't find a topic on this, so hopefully this isn't a duplicate. I'm a group leader with a Beavers lodge here in Toronto. I suggested we could spend one of our meets doing geocaching. I've got a few sites scoped out, I'm more thinking about what the best way to organize about 40 kids (20 Beavers, 5-7; 20 Cubs, 8-10) so that they all have a decent chance of finding one. There are five in the park I'm thinking of using. Has anybody set up anything like this before? There are enough leaders (and GPS devices) that we should be able to have at least five groups. Thoughts? I've got a few weeks anyway, but I want to get a handle on this. Thanks everyone.

Geocaching: Come in, and get lost!

Reading these stories it seems like the Canuck cops are a pretty easy going. When I got questioned it was pure coincidence. I was grabbing my eighth cache, and had a friend from work with me. It was on a college campus, and I'm a youngish guy (25) wearing a trench coat. There was a cop car nearby that we ignored, but they approached. Apparently I was suspicious or something. Of course, worst timing. My friend didn't notice the car, and found the cache (a film canister). He stands up and proudly yells "I found it!" I thanked him, and while explaining caching to the officer, opened it right in front of him. Officers words: "as long as there's no coke in there, we have no problem." I almost asked if pot would have been ok, but kept my mouth shut. I later found out my friend had just finished parole. Oh well.
