Its odd that BSA's site http://www.scouting.org/ doesn't mention
Explorers. I've not heard of them. Usually we try to get older boys
involved in Venture scouting to keep them interested.

This explains it far better than I could ever attempt.

Here are a couple other unit specific sites.

Notice that I put quotations around "division" of Boy Scouts, and that is
not even right, because it is now called just "Scouting."

Like I said, the divisions are not important. Helping our youth get "turned
on" to aviation is what is important.

Google "Learning for Life" if you want to know more, or even better, inquire
about starting a unit, by contacting me and getting _my_ contact person's
information.
