Treasure Search
Geocaching is an adventure game for GPS users. Participating in treasure hunting, in English ‘cache hunt’, is a good way to learn the benefits and the wonderful possibilities of a GPS. The basic idea is that people and organizations hide caches around the world and share the locations of these caches by reporting their exact position on the internet. Other GPS users use these coordinates to find these caches. Once the cache is found, the cache, or treasure, reveals its secrets. Two caches are hidden on the Scouting estate. Use your own GPS.

A traditional cache on the Scouting estate. Stay on roads and paths, the cache is right next to the path. You can find the cache on this page.

Starting point (N52o17.096 E005o31.532). Here you will find a number of trees with signs in front of them, on these signs you will find the information you need to calculate WP 2. Find the entire cache on this page.
