Welcome to scouter.com Don't know myself. As you likely already know, the program refers scouts to existing merit badges: Exploration and/or Geology. https://troopleader.scouting.org/program-features/caving/information/ -
Why isn’t there one. This seems like the perfect subject to include in a merit badge. Our troop just spent a weekend camping in the Morengo Cave in Indiana and can tell you it was a great experience watching these young men stretch and learn about cave preservation and exploration. They completed a 3 mile cave hike which included several “crawls” most interesting was a crawl called the “Masher”. They then spent the night in absolute darkness in the cave which was as much of a learning opportunity as the crawls. Few people have ever experienced absolute darkness, absolute silence with no air movement and can be very disorienting. Ps: the kids did better than this grown man! -

I hear you. Of course, we could simply teach this stuff for fun, but based on our litigious society, we probably need a release for even sewing; after all, there are sharp things involved, and some youth's feelings might be hurt if someone laughed at his sewing his finger to the shirt, or how crooked it was. I have been posting articles from our council history from almost a hundred years ago, newspaper coverage (imagine that) of camp activities and such. The youth are noted to work with the adults to improve the camp, and actually build parts of it. But today, the bad word insuranceies and the insurance companies and the black feathered lawyers make things nigh unto impossible. -
Life Skills...why do we need parents? Why not add some of these to Family Life and combine FL and Pers Management into one MB.
