GeoScout

Features GeoScout

Grab your smartphone and get Geocaching over the summer holidays with our geocache challenge.
Geocaching is a fantastic way to enjoy the outdoors exploring new areas and keeping fit.We have hidden over 100 codes around Witham, get out there and start searching for the hidden caches.
These are blue, red, and yellow coloured cable ties that could be fixed to street furniture, trees, fences, signposts - just about anywhere!
Using your smartphone, our web-app, and what3words or Google Maps.
Navigate, find and validate any number of geocaches.Find the cache, enter the five-digit code from the cable tie into the web-app and see where you are on the score leaderboard.Anyone is welcome to take part, its not just for Scouts or young people.
Adult supervision may be needed dependant on the age of the young person and parental/guardian discretion should be used.The background behind Geocaching is to find (using GPS) small hidden items in the urban or rural environment hidden by a Geocacher.
We have simplified this for this summer activity to ensure its available to all.
The only equipment required to take part is the use of a smartphone or tablet with a 4G data connection.There is no need to sign up or log in with personal information.
We use the information provided by your device to generate a secure token to validate access to an account.
This account is used to keep track of your found caches and see your position on the leaderboard.
We only store the token ID (this is unique per device you register with your account) and found caches (cache ID and timestamp when found).
No personally identifiable information is collected or stored.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more information.
