Hi all
Our club has been approached regarding perhaps organising a "caving experience trip" for some scouts. That's the limit of the details so far.
As an ex-scout I am very keen on this and think it's great but it does make me wonder a few things...
1. I doubt any of us are CRB checked except the teacher in our club
2. As a BCA affiliated club with green cards, are we actually insured to take scouts caving (all of whom I am guessing are younger than 18)
3. I don't think anyone in our club holds a formal ticket for caving (CIC or whatever)
Anyone got any comment on whether this is a) feasible or b) sensible!
We would love to help out, and it's a shame that these days the above is the first thing I think about when looking at this, but equally it's better that everyone is aware of where they stand.
Cheers
Matt
