Keystone Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 (edited) Part of the "community" aspect of geocaching that many of us enjoy is through participation in a state or regional geocaching organization. These groups sponsor event caches and online forums where geocachers in the same area can get to know each other and share information. Geocaching organizations play a pivotal role in maintaining good relations with the land managers for the parks and forests where we play our game. Getting involved in your local group is a great way for a newcomer to make new friends and find answers to their questions about the local caching scene. This topic collects links to the State and Local Geocaching Groups in the Northeast Forum states. In order to keep the topic neat, tidy and easy for someone to find the information they need, the topic is locked. If I have missed a group, if you've formed a new group (more than a personal website), or would like any information added to your listing, please send me an e-mail through my profile page and I will edit this post.

Keystone Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 I provided this topic as a service to help other geocachers find a group in their area. I have become concerned, however, that listing a group in this thread might be misinterpreted as an official endorsement of that group by Groundspeak. As a Groundspeak volunteer, I do not have the power to say that a particular group is "authorized" or "endorsed" or "official." To avoid any misunderstanding, I am unpinning this topic.
