What is the Geocache Army?
The Geocache Army is an army of those little
green men you played with as kids left by Terri and Kim Ferguson
(geocachearmy FKA scootergirlandboy) at every geocache we've
found and our many HQ all across the North Shore. Initial deployment
of the troops began June 21, 2003 in Vancouver and North Vancouver.

My soldier doesn't have a name can I name
him?
By all means if you've got a soldier and you've
got a cool name, take a permanent marker and write it on the
bottom. Include the given name in your report. And we'll update
How come my logs don't show up right away?
 You're
entries are logged manually into the database by our webmistress.
Updates are done at least weekly but often nightly when there
are lots of logs.
I found a soldier
and his tag is falling apart, what do I do?
 If
you have the means to fix it please go ahead, this started
as a project that is a much bigger sucess than we ever thought
it would be and unfortunately we didn't have the means to
protect the tags when we started. If you would like to act
as a M*A*S*H for your soldier and need provisions to replace
the tag with one that will withstand the elements drop us
an email with
your home address and we'd be happy to send one of our new
laminated tags so your soldier can continue on his mission
for years to come.
