Objective:
Attend a Cache In Trash Out event.
Details:
For those who aren’t aware, geocaching* offers a special event type called a “Cache In Trash Out,” or “CITO.” Geocaching describes CITOs by writing:
“CITO events are organized and planned by geocachers but can be attended by anyone willing to assist in a clean-up effort. CITO participants often include scouts, other outdoor groups (mountain bikers, hikers, etc.) or anyone who is looking to volunteer.”
1) Choose a CITO to attend. You can do so by searching here. Make sure to hit filter. Then, under “geocache type,” hit “deselect all” and select “Event.” Next, “Update Search.” From there, type in your location and “Search With Filters.” A list of ALL EVENTS will come up. However, you want to choose a CITO event, which is indicated by the blue and green yin yang icon.
2) RSVP! Geocachers and non-geocachers alike are welcome and encouraged to attend. As a courtesy, it’s a good idea to create a geocaching event and write a note on the CITO page letting the organizer know you’re coming.
3) Attend your CITO. Show up and help!
4) Take a photo of yourself at the CITO and post it on Instagram or Twitter with the tag #QuestScouts. Alternatively, you can also share your hide in our Facebook group.
5) In the comments below, tell us the event went. Let us know:
Where the event was.
What type of clean up or maintenance did you do?
Who you went with.
Whether or not you had a good time.
