2025 marks the 25th anniversary of geocaching. We’re excited to share this milestone with the global geocaching community through Community Celebration Events!
But what’s the secret to a spectacular geocaching Event? We asked the co-hosts of Maine’s second-longest running Event, Get Useless In Eustis (GUIE), for their advice.
Whether you’ve been geocaching for 20 minutes or 20 years, you’ve benefited from the efforts of dedicated geocaching volunteers. Nearly 400 community volunteers and thousands of cache owners and Event hosts give their time generously to help geocachers all over the world enjoy their favorite game.
Community volunteers include reviewers, EarthCache reviewers, forum moderators, and translators. They perform their roles solely for the love of the game and because they enjoy helping others. Volunteers are also those who create high quality geocaches to inspire others, bring their local community together for social events, and serve on the planning committees for Mega and Giga-Events. They beta-test new features from Geocaching HQ, are active within their local geocaching organizations, and host Cache In Trash Out® (CITO) Events to give back to the environment where we play our game.
On May 22 (and every day), take some time to thank and celebrate the volunteers that give of themselves every day to make the geocaching world turn. They put in a lot of effort for you!
These are a few ways to show support and appreciation for geocaching volunteers today and throughout the year:
