FWIW, I've never gone caving, and I was in an active troop. I don't know if it was a regional thing, or simply something that wasn't done when I was in the Boy Scouts (late 80s, early 90s).
I agree that it's probably due to ignorance, since packing out of waste usually isn't something that's done when camping or backpacking.
