Treasure Hiking - just in time for summer !

[BoatDaddy]

"Treasure Hiking is an outdoor program for Cub Scout Packs that kids (& parents too!) will absolutely love. At the same time it promotes a large number of scouting ideals. This combination is a guaranteed success for your Pack. Visit www.treasurehiking.com for all the details on this exciting program."

 

Last summer I got my Pack involved in geocaching - a outdoor "sport" enjoyed by hundreds of thousands worldwide - where there are "treasures" hidden in public parks right around the corner that you can find using an electronic device called a GPS unit.

 

I quickly realized that our Pack could augment our summer Pack Program significantly by participating in hikes that included geocaching and other scouting ideals. The program was a great success.

 

As an owner of a scouting based business, www.soarol.com , I decided that this would be a great way to give back to the scouting community and share a great idea that all Packs could use. Over the last few months I have fully documented how a Pack can use geocaching. I have named this program Treasure Hiking to help differentiate the program components that were added and are scouting specific.

 

To help share the idea, I have setup a dedicated website at www.treasurehiking.com . On this website you can learn what Treasure Hiking and geocaching are, follow the steps to create your own Pack Treasure Hiking Program, and the steps to a successful Treasure Hiking with the boys.

 

I hope you all find as much enjoyment with this activity as the families in my Pack and I have.
