The General Church Scouting Committee has reviewed certain optional program offerings of the Boy Scouts of America and local BSA councils. Certain programs, such as Scout Basic Training, Woodbadge, Explorer Presidents' Association Congress (EPAC), and Scouting Rountables have been approved for members who desire to enhance their Scouting skills and who enroll privately, using their own funds. Other programs, however, such as Explorer Leadership Institute (ELI), and Leadership Institute for Explorers (LIFE) are inappropriate for Latter-day Saint-sponsored Exploring. No further enrollment in these programs should be made, and priesthood leaders should discontinue these two programs as soon as courses now in progress have been completed.
