Hello my name is Richard Blada with troop 239, Lake Geneva Wisconsin. We have a camp out Oct 22 and 23. The Boys want to do geocaching for a merit badge. We have a private farm of 240 acres that we camp at and do the training. However, I don’t have a clue about the game and how to set this up. Is there anyone in my local area that would help me set this up? Thanks Richard Blada

thanks

I just sent an email to him. We were planing on going to an event that day but would rather help scouts.

might wish to try the guide lines found in the merit badge information then set it up so all the requirements are met. using a cache for each of the requirements. so when they complete the step they have that done.

I might be able to help if others would want to join me as i am a merit badge councilor for this merit badge. i would have to check and see but i think i can do it for other counsels as i am for Milwaukee Council.

Scrappy Scout, I was going to suggest the same thing. Green & Gold is also with the Milwaukee Council.

Hey RC do you know where the camp out is?

Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2011 10:48 am

Yes I know where it is. The location is at Molter Farms on HWY 50 East of Lake Geneva 1 1/2 miles across the hwy from Grand Geneva Resort. The place is private land on loan to the scouts. If you need more info send me a private pm with your number.
