Boys are likely to be excited about finding the cache and may or may not use common sense to get to it, so take care that you don’t place a cache that in any way leads them into a dangerous situation. This includes the following obvious NO-NOs:
|
Stay far away from road traffic and railroad crossings |
|
Don’t place a cache higher than 6 feet nor require any dangerous climbing to reach it |
|
Don’t require Scouts to swim to reach the cache |
|
Public caches are often magnetic containers stuck onto electrical switch boxes. Common sense says to avoid these as well! |
|
Always enforce the Buddy system |
