	A Brief History of the Boy Scouts of America
		Men and women can hold any adult Venturing office.
		Senior Scouting included not only Senior Scouts (who were members of a regular Boy Scout troop), but also Sea Scouts (members of a regular troop or of a separate Sea Scout ship), and Explorer Scouts (members of a regular troop or of a separate Explorer troop).
		In 1959, Boy Scouts 14 and over were again called Senior Scouts (a term dropped in 1972 when the optional Leadership Corps was created for 14 and 15 year olds), and the term Explorer was applied only to members of Explorer posts, Sea Explorer ships, and Air Explorer squadrons.

	QDN: Q Daily News
		The Justices (OK, everyone but Clarence Thomas) participated vigorously in the oral arguments in Boy Scouts of America v.
		I wish that I had found FindLaw’s Supreme Court docket before I had gone to D.C.; it has all of the amicus briefs filed in the Boy Scouts case, and I bet that there are some really scary arguments in some of them.
		The attorney for James Dale, Evan Wolfson, was incredibly articulate and had clearly done his homework (which is more than can be said for the attorney for the Boy Scouts, George Davidson, who dodged almost every difficult question posed to him).

	(Insignia - Pocket) About that Right Pocket Flap...
		(the wording "BSA", "B.S.A.", "Exploring", "Explorer", "Varsity Scout", "VS", "W.W.W.", "WWW", the "Big E" emblematic of Exploring, with or without the anchor representing Sea Exploring, "Venturing", the Venturing logo or the full wording "Boy Scouts of America" or "Scouting/USA" (which expires at the end of 1998)...) is present on the patch in some way.
		the "Boy Scouts of America", "Scout BSA", "Exploring BSA", "Venturing BSA", "Sea Scouting BSA", "Sea Exploring BSA", or "Cub Scouts BSA" strips, depending on the age of the uniform and type of uniform shirt.
		Local councils have authority to issue local insignia, and I believe the uniform guide states that the right pocket flap (where an OA lodge flap goes) can also be used for other insignia that meet a vaguely worded criterion--something like "furthering the purposes of the BSA program," or something like that.

	Michigan parents shocked to discover Boy Scout program counselor is homosexual activist
		"EXPLORING: Exploring is the career exploration program of the Boy Scouts of America available for young men and women age 14 (or who have completed the eighth grade) through age 20...The result is a program of activities that help young adults pursue their special interests and develop career goals.

		Career Exploring was moved over to Learning for Life a few years ago when it was clear that Police and Fire Explorers were going to be tossed out of most cities and counties because of similar anti-discrimination laws.

	A Scout Official of 40 Years Resigns from the BSA: Scouting and Discrimination
		It wasn't too many years ago that there was much heated discussion about the role that woman should be permitted to play as leaders and now the latest controversy is over not permitting gay individuals to be registered Scouters (adults) in the Boy Scouts of America.
		I have numerous personal and health related reasons for doing so, but a primary one is my strong conviction that I don't believe that the National BSA should discriminate against who they accept in Leadership roles within their official BSA units.
		Earlier this month, I officially informed John Ricci, who is the Chairman for Schenectady District, of my desire to officially step down from those positions that are officially a part of the National BSA Organization.

	A Brief History of the Boy Scouts of America
		In 1949, this was lowered to 8-10 as all BSA programs lowered their entry age by one year (Explorers from 15 to 14, Boy Scouts from 12 to 11, and Cub Scouts from 9 to 8).
		In 1990, the BSA added an optional "activity" uniform in addition to the standard field uniform (like the leggings of the 1950s, the expensive activity uniform has not caught on, mainly because Scouts must still own a field uniform for more formal occasions).
		The BSA Exploring Division now enrolls more young women than the Girl Scout Senior Division.
