KCAG Contact Info  
 
The following email addresses are available for contacting KCAG:

• info (at) kcgrotto (dot) org - for questions about becoming a member or arranging a presentation by a KCAG member

KCAG's meetings are open to the public. They are held at 7:00 PM on the second Wednesday of every month in the Magg Conference center located at the corner of Volker and Cherry on the UMKC campus.  
 
Boy Scout Troops and Other Outside Groups  
 
Every month, KCAG receives a number of contacts from outside groups (mostly Boy Scout Troops) requesting help arranging everything from meeting presentations to wild caving trips. While KCAG is often glad to help educate outside groups about caves and conservation, individual members must volunteer to conduct presentations or arrange/lead trips. Please understand that members' time may be limited and fulfilling your request may not be possible, especially if you request specific dates.  
 
To help you familiarize yourself with KCAG's policy regarding outside groups, that policy document is available here. Please take the time to read through it, as any KCAG-led trip requires the outside group to sign the liability waivers within.

• KCAG Policy on Groups Requesting Cave Trips (PDF document)

Several other documents have been written by KCAG members that you will likely find helpful. They do not dictate official KCAG policy but they do contain good advice.

• A Guide for Scouts Contacting the Grotto
• A Novice's Guide to Caving - a great intro for new cavers
• Caving equipment checklist - originally created for the Scout guide but applicable to all trips

Lastly, if KCAG is unable to assist, you may be able to arrange a cave tour in a nearby state park. There are more cave tours available than you might be aware of.
