PEI Weekend Fun with the Scouts!
dally and I headed over to Prince Edward Island today to give a talk to the PEI scouting groups, had an amazing time, and gave away some pretty keen prizes to the kids. They looked to have a blast! We deployed a secret cache design that until that moment only dally and I had knowledge of.
We started the day at GC25AKA with breakfast and caching talk. Got to meet El_Nimrod and some of the other PEI Cachers. (Great event El_Nimrod! Very nice meeting you all).
Once the event was over, we headed to the real reason we came over, Giving a talk about Geocaching/The MGA to the PEI scouting groups at Camp Riverdale. They loved it! Just like any good scout/cub would 
Gave the talk, showed off some UK scouting coins, and a Jeep TravelBug I had picked up at the event. Got the kids hyped for the ‘prize’ for finding the 2nd cache. A nice shiny unactivated PEI GeoCoin. The Prize for the 1st cache? To be able to keep the cache and hide it as an official geocache!
The first cache was a standard Ammo can + traders, and the second one was a very very top secret cache that can only be described as ‘evil’. The scouts nabbed the 1st cache pretty quickly, and then moved onto the “Evil” one. After 20 minutes of searching, we felt bad and started giving hints in the form of ‘i’m 3 feet away from it’, and asking them nature related questions so they could figure it out
2 scouts found it after a methodical grid search with their hands over the 3 feet surrounding where dally was standing, very very thorough!
I’d like to thank the scouts for having us down and I hope they had as great a time as we did. We hope to see some of them at GC256HE, the Red Dirt Dash in June!
