Taking Troop 1 Caving
Trying
to cover all the youth organizations in the NSS – Mid-Appalachian Region can be
challenging. Fortunately technology helps. This was the first time I’ve done a “Cave
Talk” over Skype. There were a few hiccups. We’ll figure these out over time
and tweak out tech. But it was still amazing to me that we can reach out
distances and make a positive impression on kids. How awesome is that.
We
did get them underground. We took them to a cave in the central part of
Pennsylvania. As much as I try to help them understand what to expect, I think
they were surprised with what they were about to do. First timers are often in
awe when they first experience what lays beneath their feet. And this is why I
do this. I get to see the same old cave for the first time again with every new
caver we take with us.
Please
watch the video and experience it with them for the first time.
