BSA Announces new GEOCACHING Merit Badge

BSA today, on the Scouting Magazine BLOG announced the release of the final requirements for a new Merit Badge for the sport of GEOCACHING.

The merit badge pamphlet is not yet available, but the Boy Scouts of America wanted to get the official requirements in the hands of Scouts and Scouters as soon as possible. The BSA knows that troops, districts, and councils will be planning spring and summer activities around this newest merit badge.

A copy of the requirements can be downloaded from BSA's site, or they can be viewed online on the US Scouting Service Project at http://usscouts.org/mb/Geocaching.asp. We'll post a worksheet as soon as we can develop one.
