I've made a project tag and category for the GG/GS task force all you have to do is add "|GGGS-task-force=yes" to the project tag on any article's talk page that pertains to GG/GS. So far I've added it to this page, GSUSA since it's an FA, and WAGGGS. This will automatically add it to the Category:Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting task force articles. The TF tag displays the WAGGGS logo, let me know if you want to change it. Rlevse 21:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Cover girl-only specific topics or coed things like:

This taskforce considers all articles involving Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting to be within its scope. This includes articles about mixed sex organisations and activities and articles where the subject or majority of subjects are/were male if Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting are/was involved, as well as female and female-only articles.
Rlevse and I have copied goals and scope I proposed to the task force's main page. I don't want to put anyone off from commenting or objecting by doing this. Please keep talking if you can make it better! Kingbird 17:46, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
What we might want to do is to work on biographies of women (and men) who have contributed to Girl Scouting/Guiding and develop a list of who should have biographies. I found the following Founding Women quite interesting though it is GSUSA specific (though some were heavily involved in the world organization). They have a list at the end of some significant women. This is apparently part of a patch program in the Patriot Trail Council [1]. -- Erp 01:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
The German Wikipedia appears to have reasonable size articles on the World Centres such as Our Chalet, Our Cabaña, Sangam World Girl Guide/Girl Scout Center (the only one with a reasonable size English wiki article), and Pax Lodge. Considering the role they play we might want to find a German speaker to translate the articles to the English wikipedia. Unfortunately my German is non-existent. -- Erp 02:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
I finished today the last missing stub on a WAGGGS-member organization: Shoqata e Guidave dhe Scoutëve në Shqipëri. Next step is expanding these articles and referencing them. Well, not all are done, but all members on national level. Missing are some members of the federations, but that's the same situation with the WOSM members. - jergen 12:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
It's only a month to Thinking Day, when WAGGGS members worldwide will be learning about Guiding and Girl Scouting in others countries. How about marking Thinking Day here on the Task Force? I suggest that everyone who wants to participate finds out one fact about Guiding/Girl Scouting in a country other than their own, and adds it to the relevant page. It could be as simple as "Brownies in Fairyland call their leader Tinkerbell". Longer contributions would be welcome too. We can keep a Thinking Day contributions list here on the task force talk page, so we can all share these special contributions. Is anyone interested? Any alternative activity suggestions? Kingbird 19:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, folks. As there have been no opinions yet against the idea of marking Thinking Day on the Task Force, I will proceed. I suggest we incorporate Jergen's mention of the World Thinking Day page into the activity I suggested and ask people to consider contributing to it as well on Thinking Day. I'll create a thread for people to leave notice of their contributions and try to raise extra support, nearer the day. I'm just about to go off on a wikibreak, but any further suggestions and/or opinions are still welcome. Kingbird 21:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Studio 2B is undergoing maintenance and a complete makeover including a history section and a new image. Feel free to pitch in or add your two cents on what you think needs done yet. Darth griz 98 15:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
I have been tagging the Girl Scout images under the task force. I thought you couldn't use logos on anything but the article due to copyright? Also, if you guys want, I can make a userbox to identify taskforce members for networking. Darth griz 98 15:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I would like to use the WAGGGS logo or a similar one like we have on the girl scout userbox though I don't know how to change it to
Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Userboxes/GG/GS taskforce though like the other userboxes, does anyone know how to do this? Oh, never mind, I'll just move the page to the above link, I'm still new at templating, the experience is good for me.

Sorry my tasking and time on wiki has delayed this, but I have time, materials and images for this article now. I'll try to at least get it to GA. Rlevse 14:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Failed GA, listed as a project PR and a Wiki PR. Help if you can. Rlevse 12:58, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm also trying to get Girl Guide and Girl Scout to GA. Please help there too. Rlevse 02:23, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
For World Thinking Day this year, the task force is encouraging everyone to find out something about Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting in a country other than their own, or about World Thinking Day itself, and add it to the relevant article. These contributions can be of any length and can be made on or about 22nd February.
So we can all share these special contributions, participants are encouraged to leave a short summary below. Kingbird 16:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you to everyone who took part in this Thinking Day activity. Kingbird 17:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
The subject of the oldest living GSUSA Girl Scout has been raised on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting. Comment is welcome (there, not here, to avoid confusion). Kingbird 04:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
With the GSUSA council reorged well underway, I've started going through a few Scouting in <us state> articles and adding info. Few thoughts
I've also discovered that some councils cross more than one state (and in at least one case has parts of five different states, see Five Star Council Scouting in Texas). Generally the individual pages go by headquarter location. A nifty idea would be to have a map of the state showing where the councils are. Ideally we should do that with svg maps; however, I'm not aware of any such with country map outlines (not that all councils follow county outlines but it would help). I've been playing around with Inkscape and the maps from libremap; since, that has maps that are (a) open for use and (b) has county lines. Unfortunately the lines aren't closed paths so don't fill easily. -- Erp 02:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
I've added this as a discussion item on talk:Silver Fish. I need some ideas.-- Erp 23:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Can people pitch in and help beef up the Juliette Gordon Low article, especially the lead? I want to make it the selected biography for June. Thanks. Rlevse 10:22, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
As pictures taken by the US Federal Government are not copyrighted, I've been hunting for useful ones of Girl Scouts (USA). Following are some links to some possible pictures to snarf
I found these by doing a google image search for "girl scouts" and "site:gov" Are any of these possible for any articles?
Can anyone spare some time to help with a new article on the Edith Macy Conference Center. Most urgently, could someone go through and check it's all good American English? The article needs quite a bit more information too. If someone has a book, that would be great! Kingbird 20:16, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Gadget850 ( Ed) was able to extract for us the text of several Guide laws, from
but in conversion the text didn't come through in the proper language characters. Can someone help clean these up before we put them into the articles?
Moved to Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting task force/Laws and Promises -- jergen 18:27, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Can someone (a admin?) take a look at Brownie (Girl Guides), User:WOBBLEMAN (and User:88.108.95.228) is trying to make a mess out of it. -- Egel Reaction? 11:10, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
All these mottos need moved off to some sort of "ToDo" page, it was too long and out of scope of a talk page. Rlevse 18:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
There is no point in listing "Scouting in Vatican City" in this section. No emblem there :-)
