• early Scouting use of the swastika, cognate of Fleur-de-lis in Scouting may just be good for a blurb in another article, but certainly fascinating. Chris 06:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC) reply

link here http://www.scouting.milestones.btinternet.co.uk/badges.htm Chris 09:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Scouting is mentioned in Western use of the Swastika in the early 20th century and that Johnny Walker page is used as a reference.

Good start, I envision more than a small paragraph, though. :) Chris 16:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC) reply

Are you looking for images? I have some of the 1937 Jamboree in Wash., DC, clearly showing swastikas on Indian teepees at a Texas council's gateway, etc. Unfortunately, they're non-free. Let me know if you can use any. JGHowes ^talk - 07:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC) reply

Absolutely, and thank you! Our fearless leader Rlevse is really good at properly copyright tagging such images so they are useful! :) Chris (クリス) ( talk) 10:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC) reply

I've uploaded one as Image:Comanche Trail Council Indian Camp 1937 National Scout Jamboree.jpg. It's non-free, so right now the Non-Free tag says "NEEDS ARTICLE NAME" JGHowes ^talk - 18:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC) reply

I suppose to have these articles:

• Scout camp - because of its special programme
• Scout centre - there is one about Scout Activity Centre but it's special for The Scout Association

I think these are important enough to have them in their own articles -- Kun25 ( talk) 13:23, 20 November 2007 (UTC) I am new to this (the writing part) but would like to write about the start and development of professional Scouting in the BSA. What would be the best way to do this? reply

Scout patrol

Looking for content and consensus on the best place for an entry about patrols, whether as a section of Patrol, Scout troop, Scout (Scouting), or it's own article ( Patrol (Scouting)) (with Sea Scout patrol, Air Scout patrol, Girl Scout patrol, Boy Scout patrol), Scouts BSA patrol. Bogger ( talk) 10:53, 27 June 2018 (UTC) reply

• I think Patrol_(Scouting) is the best name. Looks like Scout (Scouting)#Patrol is a good place. If you can get 1500 characters of good content, then maybe it's own page. -- evrik ^{( talk)} 19:58, 3 March 2023 (UTC) reply

• Check Category:Scouting articles needing attention for articles that have a high need of being worked on. There should a section on the article's talk page about what needs to be done.

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 {{ Non-free Scout logo}} tag, including the BSA and BSAMB parameters where appropriate
• 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
• merge sub-council level stubs into their appropriate state or nation
