+cynwood Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 Is there a minimum age requirement to be a member of geocaching.com? Quote
+Torry Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 However it would be helpful if they can reach the keyboard. Quote
Rockman02743 Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 I've been letting my 5 and 6 year old lead me along with our GPS. Just a little training was needed and we were off. My 5 year old found our very first one. The Smiths Quote
+Trizumi Posted June 18, 2006 Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) To quote my Dad when I would ask him when I would be able to start drinking beer ... he would always say "When you're tall enough to reach the bar". So, I think my Dad would answer your question in this manner ..... "When you are tall enough to reach the Geocaching container". Edited June 18, 2006 by Trizumi Quote

My geocaching partner is short, and takes exception to 'caches hidden within normal reach' that are too high for him to reach. And, he'll let the cache owner know about it! Quote
+alexrudd Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Wouldn't there be a legal requirement to be over 13 or something to sign up with personal information? Quote
+badlands Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 You don't even have to be a person. Some dogs have their own accounts. I'm assuming that they may need a little help in actually typing in the log entry though . Quote

+Vinny & Sue Team Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 It is a conspiracy, but a conspiracy shrouded in silence: They like to claim that there is not an age requirement, but our research has revealed that there are no members of the geocaching.com website who are younger than 0 years of age, nor any older than 120 years of age. So, I ask you: where are the rest? Quote
+Mile Runner Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 mile runner is a father son team, the won who acculay posts in the forums and responds to emails is the teenage son. hence being on more in the summer, and caching more. Quote

I'm assuming that they may need a little help in actually typing in the log entry though . If dogs can write puzzle caches, shouldn't they at least be able to sign the logs themselves? Geesh! Some lazy dogs... Quote
+NevaP Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Recent log for a cache I'm going to look for today. Maria's log But I don't think she has her own account yet. Quote

Some lazy dogs... You could always ask them to make their mark..... however some may not want the logbook soaked that way. Quote

So, I ask you: where are the rest? If I recall correctly Moun10Tyke has an account for some time BEFORE he was born. I'll leave it up to you to find someone one the other end of the spectrum. BTW... as someone earlier mentioned, it is a violation of federal law to collect personal information on the website from anyone under the age of 13 without their parents permission. So.... I went to see what personal information Groundspeak asks for when one creates a new account and came up with nothing. Quote
+Geek&Gopher Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Not that I'm aware of althought I'm pretty new to this stuff. Quote
