[edit] Vatican City
Vatican City is listed under "Potential members". I find it hard to beleive that a nation with less than a thousand inhabitants, almost all of whom are adult and without children can have any form of scout association? Surely if there are any children there (children of the swiss guard or lay members perhaps) they would take the short walk into Italy? If there actually is a Vatican City scouting movement, it would seem facinating and I would love to know more. If there isn't (and I suspect that there isn't) then it should be moved into the "Countries without Scouting" section. – MrWeeble Talk Brit tv 22:45, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how to classify "Vatican City". The oficial list by WOSM doesn'T mention it - neither as "Country without Scouting", neither as "potential member". I will remove Vatican City totally from the list since there is no information given by WOSM.
- The size of a country is not really important concerning the existence of an independent Scout/Guide association. Even Monaca has its own assocition with about 75 members.
- I'll also remove Greenland, it's not an associate member, but part of Denmark's federation. --jergen 18:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

- We're not talking about the size of the country. We're talking about the sheer impossbility of a scout movement or presence there at all. There are very few actual inhabitants of Vatican City, and fewer still of anything close to "citizens". Furthermore, the entire Vatican City is a church-state and by that, scouting activity cannot take place within its grounds. I nominate we delete this and redirect it.

- We really should take another look at deleting this article, or at least create an article on countries with no scouting, with the information on this one included. This has no chance of ever becoming more than a stub. There is only 2 thing that can be said: There are no Scouts there, and John Paul II got an honorary something or other. If for some reason the Vatican have boy scout troops there (insert obligatory joke), then a real article should be written. FancyPants 19:12, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
