[edit] Scouting

I'm going to put Scouting up for FAC soon. If you want to do those edits on Brownies or whatever it was, please start. Let me know if you have concerns. Rlevse 11:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Let me know when you've done this. WIm's done a nice job tweaking the article too, but I'd really like your edits on it before I FAC it. Then the fireworks begin-;) Rlevse 19:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I took a shot at cleaning this up. Thoughts? Rlevse 20:04, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Can you create a quick stub to get rid of that Scoutlink (UK) (which I know nothing about) red link in Scouting? It may be a problem with the FAC. Thanks. Rlevse 00:11, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Explorer Scouts

Sorry, I had forgot about it. Much of my experience back in the 1960s was with Senior Scouts/Venture Scouts or Rover Scouts. I know little about what Explorer Scouts are doing now on the ground in UK, but I get the impression from the article that it is a pretty sensible and usefull program. That is a plus for the article. BTW, I like the photo of Stanage. That was one of my stomping grounds in my youth and in September I climbed up to Stanage Pole from Hathersage with my 30/20 year old year old daugher and son who live now in London and tried to explain what it was all about, but I digress. I think it is a good article. I suggest you put it to peer review. I'll be happy to discuss the comments from the review with you. Sorry I can not be more helpfull. --Bduke 11:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scout unit structure

Horus, I'd like to learn more of unit structure in Britain. I've never been totally sure I understand it. In the BSA, there is the national hq, then councils. Councils will have several districts. The district is the lowest level that has paid professionals, one per district that works out of the council hq. Under the districts will be the individual units: Cub packs, Scout troops, Venture crews, Explorer posts, Varsity teams, etc. Councils don't usually have regular volunteers unless someone just wants to help. Districts will have some volunteers. The units are all volunteers. How does this correlate to The Scout Association, such as what you call Sections and Groups, etc? What are the equivalents of Section and Group? Rlevse 11:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it helps much. So an Area/County is like a council, districts are the same. The Group is where it's different. We really don't have something like a Group. The closest would be a single church or whatever that sponosors Cubs, Scouts, Venturers that all have the same Chartered Organization Representative and that is the only common connection. The COR is a volunteer, not paid. Most sponsoring organizations do not have all types of units. Each unit is a separate entity, they just happen to have a common COR and sponsoring organization.Rlevse 12:41, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Highly interesting, your TSA is much like our GSUSA and our BSA is much like your GG.Rlevse 14:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scout Sections template

I really like the scout sections template, do you think fellowship should be added? Jt spratt 13:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
