Beneath the Surface Challenge Mission & Rules

 

Many things about the world around us can be learned through exploring caves.  Consider the minerals we find, artifacts of former human beings, how animals have adapted to survive and how natural forces have created the world we explore Beneath the Surface.  

We hope teams take time to gain knowledge about caves and how they effect our lives in addition to participating in the RCX Beneath the Surface Challenge.

 

To Participate in the RCX Beneath the Surface Challenge

     Follow the General Rules and Other Documents.  The Coach and Team Members should review these documents.
