badger said:I would take exception to that presumption, The scout teams that I know are better prepared than most trips underground from other cavers. Our team caves with scouts mainly in mendips and judging by the rigging seen from many cavers they would not get a permit to take scouts caving. please think carefully when making such statements which are simply ill advised.aricooperdavis said:. It sounds like a bit of a scouts-group style trip, quite a nice idea.
I was waiting for somebody to pick up on that. I would presume that Ari didn't mean that to be scout bashing. I read it more as in giving reason as to why a group of youngsters would go underground if they weren't 'cavers'. Almost like a team building exercise or character building whatever you want to call it. One of OP's original queries was why they would have gone underground and I think Ari was drawing a parallel with scouts.
So simmer down badge
