Girl Scout families and troops are invited to join in the fun, outdoor hobby of Letterboxing! Brownie Girl Scouts can earn a badge, and all other levels can earn a fun patch by trying this unique treasure-hunt-inspired activity.
Letterboxing combines artistic ability with treasure hunting in parks, forests, and cities worldwide. Participants seek out hidden letterboxes by cracking codes and following clues. The prize: an image from a miniature piece of art known as a rubber stamp—often a unique, hand-carved creation.
Letterboxers stamp their discoveries in a personal journal, then use their own rubber stamp, called a signature stamp, to stamp into the letterbox’s logbook.
To start collecting letterbox stamps, all you need is:
Signature Stamp
– Each person in your troop or family designates their stamp. This can
be made or purchased from a craft or thrift store.
Ink pad
