Scout Cavers Badge Course. 14th March & 20th-22nd March



This is a note from the caving team, maybe that's Santa??? If you want to go let me know urgently, it always gets full.

"The Caving Team is running a course to cover the requirements of the badge on the above dates.

The course is open to a maximum of 12 Scouts, from the County, over 12 years old, and will cost £50. A deposit will be asked for to book places. Initial enquiries suggest that this course will be over-subscribed so reserve places soon.

The Course will consist of Saturday 14th March in Gobowen Scout hut, in the morning with a visit to Llanymynech Roman Copper mines in the afternoon. The weekend, 20th-22nd March, will be based in a Scout hut in S.Wales, with visits to Porth-yr-Ogof and Bridge cave on Saturday and a visit to Ogof Ffynnon Ddu on Sunday. We hope to include a tour of the local Cave Rescue Depot.
We need  some Scout Leaders roughly on a 1:4 ratio come along to provide transport & catering, they get the chance to go underground.

The courses provide great fun & adventure for Scouts and act as a basic stepping stone to learning about the underground world".
