About the Maryland Geocaching Society
Founded in the fall of 2002, the Maryland Geocaching Society (MGS) was among the first groups to
organize around the adventure and passion of geocaching. The MGS has been a nationwide leader in
geocaching by creating innovative geocaching activities including GeoTours and GeoTrails, partnering
with educational and youth groups, local and Federal government agencies, and tourism offices, to
educate and incorporate geocaching as a fun learning activity. Over the past eight years, the Society has
welcomed nearly 5,000 members to its website and sponsored multiple state-wide activities, including
“Cache in Trash Out” programs to assist in the maintenance of parks and trail systems. The MGS
promotes geocaching as exciting, earth-friendly and adventurous outdoor recreation for the whole
family. Visit www.mdgps.org.
