Victorian Scout Caving Team - Calendar 2006

Caving Trips are usually run on the first or second weekend of the month.

Team Meetings are usually held on the fourth Thursday of the month at the Branch Activity Training Centre, Legana St, Mount Waverley from 8PM to 10PM. All team members and other Scouters are welcome to attend.

If you are 18 years or older (no upper limit!) and would like to gain a Caving Activity Leadership qualification in 2006, please contact the B.A.L. Caving, Tony Watson on AH 9704 7750. The Caving Team is looking for new leaders who wish to take on this exciting and rewarding activity. The minimum expected commitment is to attend 3 weekend caving trips per year. You can join the Caving Team to be an Activity Leader and continue inolvement with your existing Group, or you can become a dedicated Activity Leader and transfer your Scout membership to the Caving Team.

The calendar is kept as up to date as possible and every effort is made to ensure that it is accurate. The calendar should not be relied upon as it is subject to change without notice. Please contact the Caving Team Booking Officer to confirm activities and dates.
