Should the title read BOY Scouting in the USA, to differentiate between lists of BSA regions and councils and GSUSA councils? (signed User:JohnDBuell).

No, we've intentionally made it gender-neutral as several have expressed that as we will be including earlier nonBSA movements, that Girl Scout local articles should somehow be tucked into these state articles. No idea how to visualize this done, but as yet there are no local Girl Scout articles. Chris 21:43, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

That'd be fine, except the template IS named BSAbystate. :) --JohnDBuell 13:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

What's with the title? "Scouting in the United States of America" Scouting is OK, but "United States" links to the GSUSA and "of America" links to the BSA. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 22:30, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

That way it's inclusive of both, since the articles are now inclusive of both. Chris 23:16, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I still don't get it. What if someone starts adding other groups (Camp Fire USA for example) to the by state articles? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm open to suggestion, what have you in mind? Chris 18:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
