The Boulder Outdoor Survival School (BOSS) is the oldest outdoor survival school in the world.〔(About BOSS )〕 BOSS is based in the small town of Boulder, Utah, where it has operated since 1968. In 1994, BOSS opened a marketing office in Boulder, Colorado. BOSS' president and CEO is Josh Bernstein, former host of The History Channel's Digging for the Truth. ==History== BOSS was conceived in 1968 by Larry Dean Olsen, author of ''Outdoor Survival Skills''. Olsen felt that our modern lifestyle had dulled our ability to adapt to harsh conditions, and created a wilderness program to challenge participants both mentally and physically. BOSS was incorporated as a private business in Boulder, Utah by Doug Nelson in 1980. In 1985, BOSS was taken over by David and Paula Wescott. They expanded the program to teach the skills of the local Puebloan cultures, and hired instructors with an appreciation of their history. In 1994, BOSS alum and former staff member Josh Bernstein returned as Marketing and Administrative Director, opening a new office in Boulder, Colorado. Bernstein restructured BOSS to include a more pronounced emphasis on traditional cultures, attracting greater media attention.〔("BOSS in the News" )〕 Bernstein became CEO/owner of BOSS in 1997. In 2014, Josh passed the company to the then Program Director Steve Dessigner.〔http://www.boss-inc.com/boss-basics_the-history-of-boss_70.html〕 The Boulder, CO office was closed and all administrative functions were moved back to Utah. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boulder Outdoor Survival School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
