My problem is, what is left for Exploring? BSA took Outdoors out of the six areas of experience of Exploring, does this mean that Explorers don't do outdoors?

Jorge-
Hi I'm Carla Branton from the Western Colorado Council and belong the a Division of Wild Life Post that was also changed to Venturing. We are very happy that we are staying with the BSA division and the traditional program of scouting. We camp alot while working on some of our projects. We look at this as adding more "venture" to our exploring.
YiS,
Carla Branton ACC, WCC Venturing/Exploring Chariman.
