Guidline/by-law Help

[+Halden]

Are there Organizations that has Guidelines/by-laws/regulations that they use for their groups. We are in the process of trying to form a cachers association in Ontario and we are trying to formalize our stance on various issues.

 

We would like to have (a draft at least) of rules that we could refer to in our talks with various parks officials and conservation authorities.

Are you looking for rules covering the governance of the organization (we have a President, VP, treasurer, etc.) or governing the geocaching activities (we don't leave trash, we don't bury, don't hide in historic areas, etc.)?

Geocaching Activities.

I have bylaws that I drafted for Nebraskache. Send me an email and I can send you back a word document. They are also posted on the Nebraskache yahoo group. Feel free to plagiarize them.

 

edit: Oops, now I see that you are actually looking for something different. Sorry!

These links might be helpful to you:

 

The Georgia Geocachers have a guide on how to start your own organization.

 

A sample set of bylaws--Washington State Geocaching Association

 

A sample code of conduct on placing caches--Georgia Geocaching Association

 

The Maryland organization also has a good list of geocaching organizations in the states that might be a good place to start your research.

 

Good luck.
