Q: My Girl Scout troop is interested in spelunking. Do you know of any certified guides who are willing to take my troop on an adventure? Thank you. -- Sincerly, Erica Silbiger
A: How exciting, Erica! And how wonderful for you to guide young people to learn about the world around them.
I don't know any such guides other than one who takes people cave diving -- which is probably not for your young scouts.
However, I would suggest you contact Florida chapters (or "grottos") of the National Speleological Society. The people who have joined this group are likely very knowledgeable about the caves in their respective areas. If they aren't guides themselves, then they probably know people who may be able to help your girls earn their spelunking badges.
Be prepared ....
