Girl Scouts: One more call for Letterboxing at the Lighthouse!

Hello!

I need to get a final count to the Lighthouse ASAP.  I currently just have Evie, Dea, and Lilly going on April 18th, 9AM-Noon.

I'll send them the final count tomorrow around noon, so please let me know ASAP!  Like I said, 4th graders are welcome.  I actually have a feeling this will be right up their alley:

The girls will use compasses and coordinates to discover letterboxes around the North Point Lighthouse with historic stamps to collect in their "letterboxing notebooks".  They'll also make their own letterboxes that the other girls can discover back around Greendale.

Letterboxing was the inspiration for geocaching, and has been a fun recreation for people as far back as Victorian times (long before GPS!)  The lighthouse person in charge of the event is SUPER excited about it too.
