I am working on Special Events for the Pine Tree Council's 100th
Anniversary of the 1st Boy Scout Camporee. To commemorate this event, the
100th anniversary of Boy Scouts, the Pine Tree Council is holding MaineJam
'07. This will encompass over 2500 scouts (age 6 - 18), 1500 scouters (18
- 80+), and numerous visitors from Southern and Central Maine descending on
Oxford County Fairgrounds in Oxford (about 1/2 mile from Norway). This
3-day event (October 19, 20, & 21) will be filled with action packed, hands
on events.
I am looking for a Geocaching station where boys can learn the
basics of Geocaching and then take a short cache trek around the Oxford
County Fairgrounds. The station would run on Saturday October 20th from 9
- 4 (we will provide lunch). I would expect a few hundred boys to visit
the station throughout the day. They can be assembled into groups of 4 - 5
and then run a short course. Please let me know your thoughts on this and
a contact for the geocaching group.
I greatly appreciate your help.
