SCOUTING PROJECT

To-do
list

Current issues

1. Propose move Exploring (Boy Scouts of America) to Exploring (Learning for Life)
2. Proposed move of Russian Association of Girl Scouts to Rossiskaya Assotsiatsia Devochek-Skautov --jergen 06:12, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

concur Rlevse 11:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

1. SEVERAL ARTICLES PROPOSED FOR DELETION AT: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scouting in Vatican City. Our agreement was to structure articles by country. That and Xorox's proposal are the only ones that make sense to me. PLEASE VOTE. Rlevse 18:37, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Articles/Categories needed

• Commissioner Service (Boy Scouts of America): This is a large subject that won't fit neatly into any of the current articles. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 21:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
• Adult Leader Training (Boy Scouts of America) There needs to be a single page outlining the opportunities, goals, etc. of the Adult Leader Training program. Could also include historical info. NThurston
• Air Scouts (Boy Scouts of America), there is a generic Air Scouts
• Australia:
  • Add Australian articles on sections. Only Venturer Scouts (Australia) and Rovers (Australia) exists so far.
• Boys' Life tiny stub, needs expanded
• categorize/structure Council articles by BSA's Regions, Western Region... et al? (we may need more talk on this, use the talk page).
• Defunct BSA High Adventure bases: National High Adventure bases such as Maine, Land Between the Lakes, Region 7 Canoe Base
• International Scout and Guide Fellowship - [1] International organization of former Scouts and Guides, cooperating with both WOSM and WAGGGS
• James Milner Fraser - Founder of The Boys' Brigade in Singapore which should, incidently, probably be renamed to Boys' Brigade (Singapore) or The Boys' Briadge (Singapore) unless the current title is its offical title but I doubt it. -- (except note that BB is an older precursor to, but not equivalent to Scouting ... Ok, so what does that mean you want us to do with the article? We have other "Scout-like" organizations in the Scouting Category. --Naha
• Create: {{Infobox Scouting}} - Note: I would be happy to do this, but I would need some idea of what it would be used for in order to have categories that make sense. NThurston
• Youth Leadership Training (Boy Scouts of America) Need an article to discuss the opportunities and goals of the new (and old) Jr. leader training programs. NThurston
• Learning for Life, if it's not covered in an Exploring article
• non-aligned Scouting movements. A lead, parent article with sections or subarticles on non-aligned (non WOSM) organizations that are also non-insular (not administered by the WOSM organization of another country. While most of these are boy organizations, there are some girl organizations in this category: at least one is American and Germany has about 10.
• Operation On-Target, short stub, needs expanding
• Scouting magazine tiny stub, needs expanded
• James L. Tarr BSA 1980s exec (from my handbook when I was a kid), Bronze Wolf
• John Sweet, a sincere and gifted scounting leader and writer in Britain. Author of Scout Pioneering, and of cartoons that still illustrate many Scouting publications, especially outside of the US.
• United Kingdom
  • Add many more articles for Scout Counties and improve the few that exist. See template at bottom of the Scout Association. Seven now exist, but they need work.
  • Add section articles. Scout Section (UK), Explorer Scouts and Scout Network exist. Need Beaver scouts and a specific UK Cub article.
• Venturing recognitions (see rank article structure talk at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Scouting/RulesStandards
• all WAGGGS-associations listed in List of World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts members
• World Deaf Scout Jamboree (see Scout Jamboree)

Fixes

• restructure Council, District, Troop articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/RulesStandards and its talk page)

• Polish rank articles are all separate. A (preferably) knowledgeable person should unify them and tag the images (which all seem to have PD-released tags)

• Bronze Award, Gold Award, and Silver Award need to be expanded to include information about the Venturing versions of these award. NThurston

• Rossiskaya Assotsiatsia Devochek-Skautov needs some translation from Russian

Continual

• check article titles and text for references to the Mormon church, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/RulesStandards
• anyone listed on the List of Eagle Scouts or List of Distinguished Eagle Scout Award recipients that meets the criteria for an article per List of Eagle Scouts's talk page that does not have an article needs an article, articles not meeting this criteria should be deleted
• anyone listed in the Silver Buffalo Award article that is in red and meets criteria
• anyone listed in the List of Distinguished Eagle Scout Award recipients that is in red and meets criteria
• On World Scout Committee members and Bronze Wolf recipients, for those with no article and not mentioned elsewhere, if there is a disambig page, I add their listing to it, in hopes that some budding genealogist will recognize it and pick it up. If they are both World Scout Committee and Bronze Wolf, I say that counts as sufficient notability for their own Wiki article, so I am seeding them with stubs later this afternoon.
• expand articles in Scouting stubs
• keep an eye out for Scout, Scouter, Scouting, etc to have the 'S' in uppercase in the titles and articles
• change patch, logo, rank, merit badge, etc images to use the {{scoutlogo}} tag
• keep an eye out for correct usage of BSA; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/RulesStandards
• keep an eye out for redirects that need updating
• link national Scouting articles onto national pages, i.e. Scouting in Canada to an appropriate place on the Canada page. I did this on Korea and it generated some local additions/corrections.
• defend against and fight off unwarranted AfDs, CfDs, and renames
