EAGLE CAVE INFO & SURVIVAL TIPS:

This camping trip will consist of cave exploring. There also may be the opportunity to participate in some outdoor activities. The scouts will be camping in the cave. We will bring some troop tarps for some protection. But you'd be better off still (And Better Prepared) To bring your very own heavy duty tarp. Electronics will be allowed in the vehicles for travel but must be locked inside the vehicles once we arrive. Violations will result in the device being confiscated until returning home Sunday.

~It's always about 60 degrees F in the cave.

~It can be sometimes very wet, but always muddy.

~BRING A SMALL TARP! (5'x7' at least)

~BRING A SLEEPING MAT!! The Cave floor can be extremely uneven.

~BRING A SLEEPING BAG!! It can still feel chilly!

~BRING A HEADLAMP!! You need your hands free to grasp and crawl and climb!

~BRING A TOWEL IN A PLASTIC BAG!! A Scout is Clean. Get those Hygiene Merit Badges Scouts!!!

This is one campout worth taking a shower after exploring an onyx cave.
