Great idea to have the FAQs. Thanks for your work on this. Many of the answers can come directly from the Youth Group Caving sheets that are on the Youth Group Web site -- they should always be in agreement.
Some additional comments and suggestions:
Why won't you just tell us where the caves are so that we can go?
I suggest instead: "Why won't you just tell us where the caves are so that we can go caving on our own?"
Don't caves have passages that are miles long? What if you get lost?
I don't know what answer you're looking for, however I suggest replacing this with: "Could we get lost in the cave?" (If you keep your original, replace "you" with "we.") This way you don't address what the reader should do if s/he is lost in a cave, but rather discuss how having a guide who is an experienced caver and familiar with the cave is the best way to ensure the group will not get lost.
Will our guide take us to a cave where we can find stalactites to take home?
I think it is better to not even suggest the idea of taking cave formations. I suggest instead: What do you mean by "take only pictures and leave only footprints?" Remember that even a list of FAQ is important PR, regardless of whether the viewer views the answers. This way you can also discuss not collecting or disturbing artifacts or animals, as well as minerals and speleothems.
Are there bears or bats in caves?
Maybe instead (since people also worry about snakes....): "Will there be animals in cave?" This gives you the opportunity to discuss the animals the cavers may see and the need to respect and not touch them, as well as say that there are not likely to be any dangers from animals that may be encountered.
What do you think about adding these questions:
--"Why do we need an experienced caver to guide us?"
--"Isn't caving dangerous?" (Opens the door for a short discussion of risks and the necessity of proper equipment, training and guide, as well as selecting the right cave for novices.)
--What will young people learn by going caving? (answered here
http://www.caves.org/youth/YGLC%20paren ... 202005.pdf ).
--"Who owns the caves?" (This opens a discussion of landowner relations and trespassing)
--"What do you mean by "responsible caving"?" Then you can bring the important points together in a short list that includes proper equipment and training, obtaining landowner permission, leaving info with someone on the surface, having a guide and adequate adult:youth ratio, and observing conservation ethics.
