Someone added the following on YPT: "must be re-certified every three years." Can we have a citation for this? I have yet to see anything in writing specifying how often one must retake YPT. I've heard 2 years tossed out. All I ever see is you must have 'current' certification, but no definition (ie years) for that. --[[User:Emb021|Emb021]] 16:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

:I added the three years: I took the online certification and the certificate shows three years. Darned if I can find a ''specific'' reference online (although it passes [[http://www.google.com/search?hs=Hl&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22youth+protection%22+training+three+years&btnG=Search Google test]]). I'll look for a real reference. --[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850 ( Ed)]] 18:28, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

::Interesting. I've done the online cert several times and never seen a 3 year experation. My frequent requests for written policy on how often YPT must be done as always been ignored (or unanswered). --[[User:Emb021|Emb021]] 16:09, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
::I can't find anything at home. I have a Wood Badge Staff conference tomorrow: I'll check with our DE. --[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850 ( Ed)]] 17:09, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Per [http://netcommish.com/AskAndy71.asp Ask Andy] there is nothing in writing. I'm going to change it to "per local council policy" until we can come up with something better. --[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850 ( Ed)]] 15:28, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

== History? ==

Where did the history portion of this page go? {{unsigned|Jfulkerson}}

See the history link on the infobox at the top. --[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850 ( Ed)]] 10:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

:How about a summary history para on just venturing with a main link to the history article? [[User:Rlevse|Rlevse]] 12:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

== Explorer Scouts? ==

Is this the same as the old Explorer Scouts?
--[[User:Purpleslog|Purpleslog]] 15:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Venturing is a spin-off of Exploring. See the Venturing section in [[History of the Boy Scouts of America]]. --[[User:Gadget850|Gadget850 ( Ed)]] 18:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

:I view modern day Venturing as the direct descendant of the old high adventure Exploring posts.[[User:Rlevse|Rlevse]] 20:45, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

== Canadian Venturers ==

I edited the canadian section to be more complete, however I did not include anything related to badges. I will add that in soon.
