Talk:List of BSA religious emblems

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scouting Wiki Project List of BSA religious emblems is part of the Scouting WikiProject, an effort to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Scouting and Guiding on the Wikipedia. This includes but is not limited to boy and girl organizations, WAGGGS and WOSM organizations as well as those not so affiliated, country and region-specific topics, and anything else related to Scouting.

[edit] Shinto

Was there not at some point a Shinto religious award? I remember it in my handbook. Chris 22:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I checked the Handbooks back through the 70s and don't see a reference. Shinto is on the religions calendar on the BSA site [1], but that's the only reference. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 02:34, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Improvements

This is going to be one of my next projects in a few weeks. Here are some of my thoughts:

  • Probably a name change: Religious emblems of the Boy Scouts of America; Religious recognitions of the Boy Scouts of America or something similar
  • Clean up this list
  • Round up and merge some stub articles such as Friends Committee on Scouting

Also the question of what about the religious awards available to other youth groups such as the Girl Scouts and Campfire. There is overlap. --Erp 00:25, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Why? This is a BSA article. Religious Emblems Programs covers all of the groups. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

The Unitarian Universalists of America recently reached an agreement with the BSA to create a religious emblem program--someone should fix the article accordingly.
