<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5173" src="https://bobwhiteblather.com/bb/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/wilderness_safety_200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="183" />The world was on the edge of its seat last week over the fate of twelve young men  and their coach in Thailand. They had decided to visit a cave following soccer practice one day, and a sudden rainstorm flooded the cave and trapped them deep inside. A literal army of thousands of military and volunteers took extraordinary measures to rescue them after days of worry and hope. The technical skill, preparation and good fortune came together and, except for one rescuer who perished,  everyone was brought out safely.</p>
<p>Besides happily hearing the good news, my thoughts turned to what if this had happened to a Scout outing. After all, Scouts do some pretty adventurous things – caving being one of them. </p><br />
