Clues in the City: SF Scavenger Hunt

We'll meet at the Larkspur Ferry and ride it over to San Francisco.  You'll be armed with a map of the city, your own lunch (or your money to buy it) and, most importantly, clues to the awesome wonders of the city.  You'll spend the day searching out those clues on foot or, if you prefer, public transportation.  Some clues will be easy-peasy and some will challenge even the best of sleuths!  After we arrive back at Larkspur, we'll take a 20 minute drive to Camp Bothin, where pizza and prizes await you.  One adult must register with one girl - two adults must register with two or more girls.  You will travel with your troop.  Individual girls will be grouped with others.  Fees include: ferry ride, pizza and prizes.

Please Note: This event will run rain or shine.
