Geocachers who are new to geocaching, future geocachers who are interested but don't know how to go about getting started or people who are interested in talking about geocaching can be easily confused by the amount of information out there and it's not always easy to get a simple understanding of geocaching.

  • Help people find out more about geocaching.
  • Help people understand how to go about finding and/or hiding caches as well as logging caches at Geocaching.com and Geocaching Australia.
  • Get out in the field and let them see what's it's all about by letting them "follow the arrow", "do the circle dance" and "get down and dirty under a bridge".

Being a Geocaching Guide / Guru is a more than just an email or phone conversation. It's also about getting out there and getting all physical with them .

There is no minimum hide or find count required to be a Geocaching Guide / Guru. Anyone can be a Geocaching Guide / Guru as long as you have the willingness to help.
