thread_title:  Please Disambiguate 

message: This article, while not gushingly positive, contains nothing about the negative points and controversy surrounding OB: deaths, advisability of crash-training children for difficult wilderness pursuits, environmental impact, qualifications of the instructors.... Will do some digging for solid, substantiated facts, but help appreciated. --Jnik 13:31, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  NPOV? 

message: There is a TV series called OB, they do the same stuff as described here. Obviously they are the same thing. But there is no info on this TV series.

message: Removed the paragraph about diversity training - doesn't follow NPOV  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.217.32.52 (talk) 22:15, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The question is not about NPOV, in my view it's related to lack of sourcing. If the paragraph was sourced and accurate then it would be ok, regardless of POV and goals of said "diversity training".--TGC55 (talk) 15:40, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Diversity training 

message: I am looking for stories from people who took an Outward Bound course, or have been Outward Bound instructors. I want to hear about how Outward Bound impacted your life, and the lessons you took with you from the field. Maybe you have never taken a course, but have crossed paths with an OB instructor or student, and that changed your life. I want to hear your stories!

thread_title: Outward Bound Stories

message: In the United States, Outward Bound schools have employed "diversity trainings" for their staff in order to prepare instructors to address the various issues that may arise on course due to a diverse group of participants. Diversity trainings are intended to provide the arena where staff can be challenged in the same ways that they challenge participants to step out of their comfort zone. 
Outward Bound has always gone where there is the greatest need in the community, from working with veterans returning from wars, to working with those battling life illnesses or dealing with addiction, to working with youth in need. Breaking down barriers between people by creating a community of trust and understanding is some of the most important work we can do. "Education must enable young people to effect what they have recognized to be right, despite hardships, despite dangers, despite inner skepticism, despite boredom, and despite mockery from the world. . ." - Kurt Hahn
Discussion of diversity, privilege and individual identity can be emotionally charged as seen in the false claims written in the "Diversity Training" section. There are many wonderful diversity resources used by Outward Bound and available online. One example: http://www.diversitycouncil.org/ Engaging in honest dialogue about diversity issues can be a very effective way to break down barriers and promote understanding. Rather than writing accusations, consider creating a discussion page to promote understanding of different viewpoints and identify best practices in teaching young people to respect one another from a multicultural perspective.

thread_title: Dialogue about Diversity

message: I find that history section is very lacking in details about the U.S. program. I think the history should have two separate paragraphs regarding the British and US programs respectively. Perhaps incorporate the "Name" section into the "British" paragraph. This link seems to contain good information behind Outward Bound's history in the US: http://www.outwardbound.org/index.cfm/do/ind.about_history  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Espang10 (talk • contribs) 02:19, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: The History Section

message: Saving these WLs & refs, as most need to be moved to the USA article.
   Peter Willauer led the founding of the Hurricane Island Outward Bound School with Miner's mentorship.
(Miner hasn't been introduced at this stage of the article, and US stuff should probably go to the US article unless we want a separate Hurricane Island one).
  Fuller was seconded to the USA in the early sixties to help establish the Colorado Outward Bound School,Miner, Joshua and Boldt, Joe, Outward Bound USA: Crew Not Passengers, The Mountaineers, 2nd edition 2002, pp. 84-85 Outward Bound USA, and the first Peace Corps training camp in Puerto Rico.History: Kurt Hahn and Outward Bound Retrieved August 29, 2008
  Some of the more notable Outward Bound teachers include James Kielsmeier, Stan Hugill, Tom Kennerley, Paul Petzoldt, Robert B.

Will sort out homes for this stuff soon, possibly back in this article. Basie (talk) 08:44, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Material to move or reintroduce 

message: I've moved this to point to Outward Bound (disambiguation) as a simple search for "outward bound" (all lowercase) was leading straight to the nautical glossary. Discussion here. Cheers, Basie (talk) 22:38, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
