Geocaching for Earth Day at Girl Scout Camp Myeerah

Happy Earth Day!!

Indian Lake Outfitters partnered with the Girl Scouts of Western Ohio to celebrate Earth Day at the Girl Scout's Camp Myeerah last Saturday. We teamed up with the Insurance Goddess, Carrie Reynolds, of Alan Galvez Insurance to educate the young girls on the importance of "Cache In - Trash Out" with litter pick-up and geocaching.

Geocaching, coined in 2000, combines location-based gaming, social networking, treasure hunting, GPS navigation and outdoor recreation. With more than 1.4 million geocaches hidden and 4 million users worldwide, geocaching continues to grow in popularity across the United States and here locally in Logan County. Did you know that Indian Lake Outfitters is the only place in Logan County that carries Geocaching supplies?



Donated by Galvez Insurance, the litter bag was full of fun educational pieces for each girl to take home as a souvenir, like the "geocaching.com" sticker created by FastTrack Signs. Then we stuffed a 2-sided Geocaching Fact Sheet inside, along with some other information about Indian Lake Outfitters and Alan Galvez Insurance. 

Alan Galvez Insurance is located at 134 West Columbus Ave in Bellefontaine, Ohio. For questions or policies regarding Life, Auto, Health, Home or Commercial coverage, please contact the Goddess at 937-592-4871.

To learn more geocaching basics, join us next Saturday, April 30th, at the Logan County District Library in Bellefontaine for a FREE demonstration titled "Let's go Geocaching" beginning at 2:00 in the AcuSport Community Room.
