Geocaching Day 2009
On May 30, 2009 hosted our first-ever DEN Geocaching Day! Every STAR Discovery Educator was encouraged to venture out with some colleagues and have some fun geocaching.
Groups of DEN Guides (experienced geocachers) agreed to host events in their areas and others went off on their own individually.
We also released into the wild 30 Discovery Educator Network Travel Bugs! These bugs have been charged with Discovery themed challenges that will be done as they make their way back to our headquarters in Silver Spring in time for next year’s event!
Want to track their progress? We’re adding badges for each of them below. Click on the image for any of the bugs to see where it has been and where it is now! If there’s one near you, grab it yourself and help it along on it’s journey.
