[edit] Things to do

[edit] Project-related

[edit] New Year resolutions

The New Year is traditionally the time to make resolutions of better behaviour or action in the year to come. Here is mine for the Project. We now have hundreds of articles and more are being added by the day. Very many of them have no real cited sources. There may be a national Scout web site in "External links" but individual statements are not sourced. More inportantly there are mostly no references whatsoever from non-Scouting sources. The articles on "Scouting in XXX", where XXX is a country, province, county, area or state are particularly bad in this respect. Policy on WP is shifting. These articles with no independant sources are coming under attack. We should spend at least as much time this year making sure articles are properly sourced as we do writing new articles. --Bduke 23:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] International

  • Category:Scouting jamborees only really has WorldJams, it could have links to articles about major national/international jams, or to the national association/venue that hosted it.
  • non-aligned Scouting movements. A lead, parent article with sections or subarticles on non-aligned (non WOSM) organizations that are also non-insular (not administered by the WOSM organization of another country. While most of these are boy organizations, there are some girl organizations in this category: at least one is American and Germany has about 10.
  • World Deaf Scout Jamboree (see Jamboree (Scouting))
  • Age Groups in Scouting and Guiding only has a handful of organisations so far - please feel free to add more... there are currently 10 countries in the list, but not all of them include WAGGGS information Horus Kol 14:11, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Should there be an article on the Scout logo - the symolism of the fleur-de-lys badge? It might help with a small problem on Talk:The Singapore Scout Association. --Bduke 02:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC)...Sure, why not. Rlevse 03:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
I was not offering to write it - not my scene. Also it would need a source more independent than the WOSM article on the world badge. --Bduke 03:46, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, if Jergen is game, how about an expansion of Gallery of Scout and Guide national emblems into such an article, so there's no overlap? Chris 07:09, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
World Crest is a useful article, but it does not do what I was asking for in discussing the symbolism of the fleur-de-lys badge. See Talk:The Singapore Scout Association#The Singapore Scout Logo for a copyvio I took off the Singapore Scout Association. We need something to link to in a replacement for that long-winded copyvio. --Bduke 07:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
So more like Fleur-de-lis in Scouting, something more comprehensive? Chris 20:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Guide International Service relief organization [1]
  • International Scouter Association, founded during a Scout conference in March 1947 in Mittenwald. The founders were German and Scouts-in-exile. The seat was in Munich.< Christina Hebben (August 2000).

ISSN 0342-3328>
  • World Association Training scheme, a Guiding activity after World War II. Mona Burgin was the leader of the first team briefed to find and support Guides living in displaced persons' camps. After the team's first tour of duty, General Sir Evelyn Fanshawe, at that time in charge of the U.N. relief operation in the then British Zone of Germany, "remarked that, in his opinion, Scouting and Guiding were the most rehabilitative factors at work in the camps at that time." (Liddell, Alix (1976). Story of the Girl Guides 1938-1975. London: Girl Guides Association. ) Elizabeth Hartley followed Burgin as leader of the team.

There are a lot more Scouting articles in de:Kategorie:Pfadfinder (Scouting), de:Kategorie:Pfadfinderverband (Scout/Guide Association) and de:Kategorie:Pfadfinderverband (Deutschland) (German Scout/Guide Association). Many of them are on smaller or defunct organizations: I propose to concentrate on the important existing associations:

[edit] Others

  • The Jungle Book and Scouting - would this be better off as a section in The Jungle Book?
There are chunks of this in Akela, Baloo, Bagheera, Kaa and Hathi. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 14:01, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
The friendship and symbiosis between Rudyard Kipling and Baden-Powell can be found here, http://www.scouting.milestones.btinternet.co.uk/kipling.htm , this will make a fine standalone article. Chris 02:43, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
This would be a keen article. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 20:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I agree with Gadget. --evrik (talk) 13:24, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Do you mean with the badges sewn all over them? Maybe you want to make it a subsection of Scouting memorabilia collecting, see if it grows into a full article by itself. Chris 02:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Anyone who speaks Italian, their project has all Jamborees from 1959 on covered. example it:19° Jamboree mondiale dello scautismo Chris 06:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Bad chosen example - it:19° Jamboree mondiale dello scautismo is a translation of 19th World Scout Jamboree. Most of the rest are one or two sentences stub. --jergen 08:21, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't speak Italian, so I don't know.
They have more than we have, in those stubs we lack. Good night. Chris 09:14, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • List of Scouting Positions of Leaderships There might be an article for this, I've tried searching for it. There is enough stuff to make this article. If anyone thinks it should be made, I'll make it. Shrewpelt 01:26, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
It would be "positions of leaderships". What is the scope- Scouting in general or just one association, like the BSA? Define leadership- would it include Boy Scouting positions of responsibility? Would the Cub Scout denner count? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 02:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
I mean BSA, as I don't know the positions of leadership in other countries. As for leadership, I mean entirely Boy Scouting positions of leadership. Shrewpelt 13:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Then it would be Leadership in Boy Scouting (Boy Scouts of America). --Gadget850 ( Ed) 14:06, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Pretty much. I'll wait a few more days to get more comments until I make it. Shrewpelt 15:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I've changed my mind. This might not be a good article to make. Shrewpelt 16:28, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Not trying to discourage you, jut determine the scope. Perhaps expand the Boy Scouting article a bit? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 16:33, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • early Scouting use of the swastika, may just be good for a blurb in another article, but certainly fascinating. Chris 06:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
link here http://www.scouting.milestones.btinternet.co.uk/badges.htm Chris 09:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Scouting is mentioned in Western use of the Swastika in the early 20th century and that Johnny Walker page is used as a reference.
Good start, I envision more than a small paragraph, though. :) Chris 16:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Are you looking for images? I have some of the 1937 Jamboree in Wash., DC, clearly showing swastikas on Indian teepees at a Texas council's gateway, etc. Unfortunately, they're non-free. Let me know if you can use any. JGHowes talk - 07:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Absolutely, and thank you! Our fearless leader Rlevse is really good at properly copyright tagging such images so they are useful! :) Chris (クリス) (talk) 10:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I've uploaded one as Image:BSA Natl Jamboree 1937.jpg. It's non-free, so right now the Non-Free tag says "NEEDS ARTICLE NAME" JGHowes talk - 18:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Gang Show - as per the talk page, there's a note as to either condensing the Gang Shows Around The World section or finding enough citable information to warrant a split article. Otherwise the whole page is cluttered by this too-huge section. Dac

I suppose to have these articles:

I think these are important enough to have them in their own articles --Kun25 (talk) 13:23, 20 November 2007 (UTC) I am new to this (the writing part) but would like to write about the start and development of professional Scouting in the BSA. What would be the best way to do this?

[edit] Continual things to do

  • Check Category:Scouting articles needing attention for articles that have a high need of being worked on. There should a section on the article's talk page about what needs to be done. When you've completed the task(s), you can remove the attention tag from the Scouting project template; if you don't know how, ask Rlevse.
  • check article titles and text for references to the Mormon church, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/RulesStandards
  • anyone listed on the List of notable Eagle Scouts that meets the criteria for an article per List of notable Eagle Scouts's talk page that does not have an article needs an article, articles not meeting this criteria should be deleted
  • anyone listed in the Silver Buffalo Award article that is in red needs an article
  • On World Scout Committee members and Bronze Wolf recipients, for those with no article and not mentioned elsewhere, if there is a disambig page, I add their listing to it, in hopes that some budding genealogist will recognize it and pick it up. If they are both World Scout Committee and Bronze Wolf, I say that counts as sufficient notability for their own Wiki article, so I am seeding them with stubs later this afternoon.
  • expand articles in Scouting stubs
  • keep an eye out for Scout, Scouter, Scouting, etc to have the 'S' in uppercase in the titles and articles
  • change patch, logo, rank, merit badge, etc images to use the {{Non-free Scout logo}} tag, including the BSA and BSAMB parameters where appropriate
  • keep an eye out for correct usage of BSA; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/RulesStandards
  • keep an eye out for redirects that need updating
  • link national Scouting articles onto national pages, i.e. Scouting in Canada to an appropriate place on the Canada page. I did this on Korea and it generated some local additions/corrections.
  • defend against and fight off unwarranted AfDs, CfDs, and renames
  • merge sub-council level stubs into their appropriate state or nation
