Catie McEntee

Catie McEntee first went caving about 4 years ago
with her Venturing Crew (the co-ed division of Eagle Scouts) on a trip hosted by the NSS Youth Liaison Committee Chairperson Allen Maddox. At the next event she invited Maddox to train the group about caving and bring the Squeeze Box, a training tool for new cavers. "She was in charge of our contingent. She organized every aspect of our participation in this event.” Maddox remembered.

McEntee was also a leader at National Youth Leadership Training. Today she studies engineering at North Carolina State University. "When she comes come home on break she put together caving trips and has also helped me when I guide other youth groups on their caving trips. She is one of those people you can tell is going places. I'm looking forward to seeing her take off and change the world.” says Maddox.
