[edit] Merge of Group articles

There are proposals to merge two Group articles here. There is also one other Singapore Group article. Those three articles are, I believe more than 50% of all articles on Scouts Groups world-wide. The generally accepted view is that articles on individual Groups are not notable. To be notable, they have to be the oldest or the largest, and even these may be disputed. See discussions on Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting and its related articles. The best way forward is to make new articles on the two Areas or possibly the 13 Districts in Singapore and add part of the articles on the Groups to those. The alternative is that these Groups articles will be put up for deletion at some point. In the UK the idea is to have articles on Counties (England) or Areas (Scotland and Wales). Group articles are generally moved into those articles and made redirects there. Much the same happens in Australia and the USA. What do Singapore's Scouts think about this? --Bduke 11:34, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Merge all of them into this article.Rlevse 11:15, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Merge all as per nomination, otherwise, delete as non-notable. Chris 16:54, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

All five Group articles have been merged here. --Bduke 01:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cub Scout

Please be noted that primary school scouts had been officially been named from Cadet Scouts to Cub Scouts.

Then the article Cadet Scout needs to be moved to Cub Scout (Singapore). I have changed the link from Cub Scout in the article so it actually links to Cadet Scout, but more tidying up needs to be done and I am busy on a long wikibreak. --Bduke 12:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge of Pajigwad Scout Troop

• Support. No notability of Troop. It needs to be be cut right back and merged here. Otherwise it will and should be deleted. --Bduke 09:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

*Delete The scout troop article is on a nonnotable unit that should be deleted. Only a few pieces of info are worth merging here. Sumoeagle179 04:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scout Units

I was thinking whether we should impose a rule which restricts any details or brief mentions of an individual unit's history and achievements in the page. Currently, almost all of the "bigger and better" scout units had been doing so. I personally are against it. It will be very chaotic if the rest of the other units follow suit. -- Skyfoo 07:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Addition of information

I was thinking of adding more information to this article. For those who have some knowledge of the areas below please help to add in.

1. Camps (eg. Singapore Jamboree, Camp Leaping Wolf)

3. Events (eg. JOTI/JOTA, POW WOW)

5. Scout Shop

6. Saribum Campsite

7. Badges
