Bald Eagle Grotto
Founded in 1986, Bald Eagle Grotto is a community of cavers united by a shared passion for exploration, learning, and the conservation of caves and karst landscapes.
As a grotto affiliated with the National Speleological Society, we promote safe and responsible caving, support the study of speleology, and advocate for the protection of the underground world for future generations.
In 2026, Bald Eagle Grotto became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, further strengthening our educational and conservation mission. Since 2019, we have operated as a fully virtual grotto—connecting members across Central Pennsylvania and beyond—while continuing to foster stewardship, camaraderie, and respect for the hidden places beneath our feet.

Our virtual meetings are open to the public, and anyone with an interest in caves, caving, or conservation is encouraged to join us. Meetings provide a chance to connect, share knowledge, discuss upcoming trips and projects, and enjoy the camaraderie of the caving community.
