Eligibility: Scout, Venturer, Rover and Leader

Closing Date: 2nd September 2024

Cost: $40.00

This introduction to caving will be conducted over 2 days. As this activity is based in a bush setting next to Isaac Creek, there are no facilities provided. Creek water is not always drinkable.

This activity will be conducted on and around the cliff & caves at the location. As this activity is mainly practical, suitable clothing and sturdy footwear are required.

Participant needs to bring suitable camping gear and ensure that they have suitable food, snacks and water for this activity.

Camping on the Friday night is a good idea due to the start time. Camping and Scout supervision is the responsibility of the individual Unit Leaders. Coordinating the transport etc is the responsibility of the participant.

All applicants will need access to a helmet (a 4 point attachment or rock activity), (a suitable harness, not needed this trip) and sturdy footwear. It is suggested that all participants wear overalls during the caving activity. If you don't have access to overalls then long trousers and a shirt that tucks in is OK. Region can provide helmets and harness if needed. You will also need to bring 3 sources of light.

If any parent stays overnight, they must have a WWCC or camp in a different area.
