===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. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 23:33, 4 January 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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
I've uploaded one as Image:Comanche Trail Council Indian Camp 1937 National Scout Jamboree.jpg. It's non-free, so right now the Non-Free tag says "NEEDS ARTICLE NAME" JGHowes talk - 18:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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?[reply]

Looking for content and consensus on the best place for an entry about patrols, whether as a section of Patrol, Scout troop, Scout (Scouting), or it's own article (Patrol (Scouting)) (with Sea Scout patrol, Air Scout patrol, Girl Scout patrol, Boy Scout patrol), Scouts BSA patrol.

Continual things to do

[edit]
  • 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
