[edit] Name

Currently the article title is Exploring (Boy Scouts of America), but Exploring is under Learning for Life, not BSA. Should we:

  1. Change it to Exploring (Learning for Life) and change the catgory from BSA to LFL
  2. Leave it be
  3. Split it into two articles, pre- and post-LFL

1 is my recommendation. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 04:57, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

3 is my recommendation, more or less -- Exploring was around long before LFL and has many aspects besides what is now part of LFL (Air Scouts, Sea Scouts, pre-Venturing Exlorers, career posts, etc). I'm not sure what you mean by LFL category--we don't have one that I see and how many articles would go into such a cat? We could make an Exploring cat and put all such articles in it. If we have a LFL cat, what would it encompass besides Exploring and an LFL article? The modern Venturing program is nothing other than a re-named Exploring program (part of the mass confusion of all this) as many pre-Venturing Explorer Posts were high-adventure oriented. In short, I think LFL should mention Exploring as a summary, but the large Explorering article split off from there. Rlevse 12:28, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

PS We still don't even have a LFL article. It's been on our todo list since the beginning. Rlevse 12:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes. I've been looking at this off and on. We should create at least a stub. It does beg the question: should LFL be under the BSA cat?
I'd say yes because LFL is a BSA program (national), but not part of the pack/troop/crew/team realm. Rlevse 14:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
