What is the Virginia 4-H Geocoin Adventure?

Goal: To support geospatial and geographical awareness and encourage everyone to
learn more about their communities and their world. Most of all... have fun outdoors! As this
initiative is an educational-based effort associated with the Virginia community 4-H clubs,
we would like to encourage you to post pictures (on geocaching.com), include written history,
interesting stories and/or fun- facts associated with each community as the geocoin
makes its way...

About this item: This coin was developed as part of a collaborative Extension, outreach and education effort
through the Virginia Geospatial Extension Program (http://www.cnr.vt.edu/gep), Virginia Cooperative Extension 4-H (http://www.4-h.ext.vt.edu) and the National Geospatial Technology Extension Network (NGTEN - http://www.geospatialextension.org).
