About the ANSG

The ANSG is a registered provincial not-for-profit association in Nova Scotia.  Our goals are to promote Nova Scotia as a geocaching destination, and to educate the public about safe, ethical, and drama-free geocaching.  Any geocacher whose primary residence is in Nova Scotia is considered a member of the Association.

The ANSG has:

• partnered with Parks Canada to hide geocaches

• raised funds for event sponsorship

• supported many geocaching events

• built a platform for social connections 

• educated new cachers 

• partnered with HQ on the last ever Canadian presence of the Adventure Maze
