front page home about the schools what is geocaching about the project where are the Travel Bugs ® what are we learning how can you help		Geocaching is like a global treasure hunt.  People around the world use GPS devices to find hidden containers, called geocaches, and use the internet to hide and seek the cache locations.  A geocache is usually a plastic box, varying in size from a 35mm film cannister up to 3 litre ice cream tubs.  It is usual to take something from a cache when you find it, and leave something in return. You can learn more at the geocaching website.
			A Travel Bug ® is a small object that is registered with a particular goal and left in a geocache for others to find and help on its way.  It is tracked using Groundspeak Travel Bug  tags (left). You can learn more on the geocaching webpage for trackable items.
