Welcome to the Tyler Scouts 2020 Treasure Hunt.
The challenge is to solve each of the clues to identify the location of each marker. Each marker is a different Scout activity badge, so all you need to do is tell me which clue matches which badge – there are 60 in total.
This activity has been designed for you to complete over a number of days in family or small friendship groups, following the current advice on social distancing and group meetings.
Please note that the markers are all located in public access areas and at ground level. You do NOT need to enter private land, climb trees, walls or fences, nor dig.
Please follow the countryside code at all times.
In October we will publish the answers. If you are not in Tyler Scouts and still want to submit answers, please email them to treasure.hunt@tylerscouts.org.uk – there are no prizes, but we’ll acknowledge your achievement on our website!
I would like to thank the business around St Albans who have supported this activity by showing a marker in their window.
Some advice;
- Grid references are 10 digit (1m of accuracy) – designed to use a GPS / phone, or convert to Long/Lat and use Google.
