[edit] Re-name

I think this page should be renamed to "National Boy Scout Committee". When I see "Boy Scout Committee" I think it might refer to a troop committee or a district/council committee. --Emb021 17:12, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I named it that because on BSA websites it does refers to it as the "national Boy Scout Committee". See scouting.org/factsheets/02-512.html (last paragraph). In addition, Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures, #33088B, revised 1999 [1] says

With all appeal applications, the final decision rests with the national Boy Scout Committee. In ascending order, levels are unit, district, local council, and national Boy Scout Committee.

so instead of splitting this article into 4, I think they should be sections. - L1AM (talk) 01:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, the thing is the unit committee is called "Unit Committee" or "Troop Committee", there is no such thing as a 'unit Boy Scout Committee'. Most districts and councils do not have 'Boy Scout Committees'. They have committees for advancement, training, membership, etc. --Emb021 19:00, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
