[edit] "reading like an advertisement"
This article, as well as the ones for Transatlantic and Far East Councils, must read differently as administratively they are very much different than Scouting in the United States itself. Unless you can come up with some of your _own_ changes to make it sound less commercial to you, I will remove the tag shortly. Kintetsubuffalo 03:32, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Membership list of countries
Why are some countries linked to the country article and not others? Should they all be linked to country articles - note main country article not scouting country article. --Bduke 01:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] merge
Should we consider merging Far East and Transatlantic Councils and Direct Service, as we are trying to integrate Girl Scout Councils into the state articles, perhaps "American Scouting overseas" or something? Chris 20:15, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- I must have missed the discussion on this. The use of "American" here is ambiguous: shouldn't it be "United States". Or does it cover Canada, Mexico, Brazil, etc. as well? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 22:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

- It was one of the last discussions on the project page before the last batch got archived. No, the adjectives would then be "Canadian", "Mexican", and there is no other such adjective that is suitable. Salma Hayek is an Arab-Mexican, Lorne Michaels is a Jewish-Canadian, and Governor Arnie is an Austrian-American. Since this is the English-language Wikipedia, the naming convention would be acceptable. Chris 18:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Transatlantic Council patch/map
Not being a very insider of Wikiedia and no member of BSA at all, I wished to get an image for the Transatlantic Council paragraph (and the German article as well). Could anyone from "inside" take responsibilities please? Yours in Scouting, FloK 22:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I lived in Neu-Ulm for six years. I have a TAC patch, a "world" patch with several segments, a Black Eagle Lodge flap and an Alpine District (now defunct) patch from 1989 or so- I know the design has changed. I also have patches for Camp Dahn, Camp Freedom, Bayern High Adventure Camp, Berlin Historical Trail, Hohenstaufen Scout Trail and several others. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 22:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- Wow! Of the Berlin Trail I've even never heard so far. Could you scann or photograph them (at least the council's one)? FloK 15:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- I will try to scan these in the next week or so. The Berlin Historical Trail was really cool as we did East and West Berlin. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 17:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
