The only way I figured out WHERE Frontiersman, Scouts category was is,  I looked at my g-g-g-g grampa,  who was one and I added the category..  but when I went back because Frontiersmen, which all categories seem to be in the plural, did not come up I had to HUNT.. it is under category  "Time Period"  18 Century--- who is ever going to think to look there for a,   ya know occupation, or in this case LIFE.. Just curious.  probably won't remember to look there so wont use that category again.

Thanks for bringing this up.

I agree that this category is misplaced in the grand scheme of things. I checked the profiles of everyone in the category and they are all US frontiersmen and/or scouts. I think it should fall somewhere under the Westward Ho! Project that someone else has been asking about and that is not active at present. It also fits under US Pioneers and Settlers (category). I also noticed a lot of similar categories that should exist in my opinion. I'm on the Categorization Project and will make a proposal to the team after a little more study.
