[edit] Future of this article

Now that this article has survived AfD, it needs improving. We have plenty of UK Scout County articles that are much better than this, so I do not think we need to combine them into one article. Let us retain the pattern we have for the other Scout Counties. The other surviving Manchester article, Scouting in Greater Manchester West is in worse shape, while Scouting in Greater Manchester East was speedy deleted, but could be recreated if we make it good enough, with enough sourced material. I think one problem is that these counties are fairly recent and material is widely scattered. Please, if you know about Scouting in Manchester help to improve these articles and help to find good sources. --Bduke 04:56, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Are there any "Scouting in...." articles which are particularly good? We may wish to borrow ideas from them to get things going. Jhamez84 11:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

They are all in the template at the bottom of the article on the other Counties and the Scout Association. I think Royal Berkshire is one of the best. I worked up Cumbria the other day but Royal Berkshire is much better. Basically we need third party sources, history, census numbers, notable events and notable people. Lists of Districts and Groups, camp sites, etc are OK but much more is needed. --Bduke 11:52, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
