There's an error in the link to the Blue Water Council. The link goes to www.bwcbsa.com which is some sort of vitamin site. The correct link should be to www.bwcbsa.org

List of Councils and Districts?
This article, as it is now, is mostly just a listing of the councils and districts in Michigan, while only a small minority of it is actually about "scouting in michigan". Might it be better to move the list to a separate article ("List of BSA Councils in Michigan" or something)? Another alternative could be to just list the councils, and leave the districts and most of the council information for their own articles. That way, this article could be be more oriented to history, background, and information on the overall topic of "Scouting in Michigan". Thoughts?

I'm starting to do some research on the Area Project to expand and improve the section in the article on it, which I'm severely tempted to shorten right now for violating
WP:NPOV, but I'm leaving it alone for right now. (If nothing else, my current understanding is that the new area-level entity would indeed become a legal entity.) I would appreciate some help in this, as - given that my father works for Great Lakes Council - I want to make sure I don't butt up against
WP:NOR (which can be a really frustrating thing, having to find websites that say things I know or have gotten from the proverbial horse's mouth) and
WP:NPOV. --

The mergers were approved; here is the organization:
Girls Scouts aren't part of the Boy Scouts of America in any way, shape or form. They really shouldn't be in this article. They should have their own article.

Note the article is about Scouting in Michigan, not just the Boy Scouts of America in Michigan so it includes Girl Scouts of the USA and can include independent scouting organizations. --
