Current issues

• work toward more Featured articles and Good Articles
• the portal tag can have the Scouting image we use be displayed by typing "|Scout logo2.svg" after the 'g' in Scouting. See sample on George Thomas Coker see also section. Help in updating these as you come across them would be appreciated.
• The articles on the ofur WOSM member organizations and on Serbia need an update; some moves and pre-move-deletions will be necessary:
  • Cambodia
  • Montenegro
  • Serbia
  • Syria
  • Ukraine. --jergen (talk) 18:05, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

  What pre-move deletions are needed? Also, we need to find a way to break the Serb-Montenegrin article into its component parts. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 12:55, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

  At least National Association of Cambodian Scouts should be deleted since Scouting in Cambodia is nearly exclusive on this organization and its precedessors and should be moved to the associations name. Afterwards we should set up a new article on Scouting in Cambodia. Scouting in Ukraine contains some more information on other organizations but two thirds of the article are on National Organization of Scouts of Ukraine; so the redirect should also be deleted. --jergen (talk) 16:33, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Understood, I put up both for {{db-maintenance}}. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 05:20, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Things to do

Project-related

New Year resolutions

The New Year is traditionally the time to make resolutions of better behaviour or action in the year to come. Here is mine for the Project. We now have hundreds of articles and more are being added by the day. Very many of them have no real cited sources. There may be a national Scout web site in "External links" but individual statements are not sourced. More inportantly there are mostly no references whatsoever from non-Scouting sources. The articles on "Scouting in XXX", where XXX is a country, province, county, area or state are particularly bad in this respect. Policy on WP is shifting. These articles with no independant sources are coming under attack. We should spend at least as much time this year making sure articles are properly sourced as we do writing new articles. --Bduke 23:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

International

• Category:Scouting jamborees only really has WorldJams, it could have links to articles about major national/international jams, or to the national association/venue that hosted it.
• 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.
• World Deaf Scout Jamboree (see Jamboree (Scouting)) and agoonoree, handicapped Scouts international camp, Wilson p 189
• Should there be an article on the Scout logo - the symbolism of the fleur-de-lys badge? It might help with a small problem on Talk:The Singapore Scout Association. --Bduke 02:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC)...Sure, why not. Rlevse 03:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I was not offering to write it - not my scene. Also it would need a source more independent than the WOSM article on the world badge. --Bduke 03:46, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, if Jergen is game, how about an expansion of Gallery of Scout and Guide national emblems into such an article, so there's no overlap? Chris 07:09, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

World Crest is a useful article, but it does not do what I was asking for in discussing the symbolism of the fleur-de-lys badge. See Talk:The Singapore Scout Association#The Singapore Scout Logo for a copyvio I took off the Singapore Scout Association. We need something to link to in a replacement for that long-winded copyvio. --Bduke 07:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

So more like Fleur-de-lis in Scouting, something more comprehensive? Chris 20:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

After the team's first tour of duty, General Sir Evelyn Fanshawe, at that time in charge of the U.N. relief operation in the then British Zone of Germany, "remarked that, in his opinion, Scouting and Guiding were the most rehabilitative factors at work in the camps at that time."

It would be "positions of leaderships". What is the scope- Scouting in general or just one association, like the BSA? Define leadership- would it include Boy Scouting positions of responsibility? Would the Cub Scout denner count? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 02:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I mean BSA, as I don't know the positions of leadership in other countries. As for leadership, I mean entirely Boy Scouting positions of leadership. Shrewpelt 13:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

• Gang Show - as per the talk page, there's a note as to either condensing the Gang Shows Around The World section or finding enough citable information to warrant a split article. Otherwise the whole page is cluttered by this too-huge section. Dac

I suppose to have these articles:

• Scout camp - because of it's 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?

Continual things to do

• 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. When you've completed the task(s), you can remove the attention tag from the Scouting project template; if you don't know how, ask Rlevse.
• check article titles and text for references to the Mormon church, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/RulesStandards
• anyone listed on the List of notable Eagle Scouts that meets the criteria for an article per List of notable 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 needs an article
• 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 {{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
