[edit] Rename

Per the Language of Scouting, the proper name would be Silver Award. Since there is already a Silver Award article, this title needs to be disambiguated, but should be Boy Scouts of America per project standards. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 20:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

  • support - Does need to use proper name. Justinm1978 19:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Support per standard. We could probably even delete the soon-to-be-old page name rather than use it as a redirect, because it is unlikely that anyone will type that exact phrase. —ScouterSig 22:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Highest awards in other programs

Is this section really necessary? --Jdurbach (talk) 18:32, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Looks like I added this. It was probably copied from the similar section in Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America). That section was structured because drive by editors kept adding other awards to the Eagle article until it had about two pages of material. I did not look at the history here in detail to see if this was starting to happen here. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 18:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
