Current issues

  • work toward more Featured articles and Good Articles
  • the portal tag can have the Scouting image we use be displayed by typing "|Scout logo2.svg" after the 'g' in Scouting. See sample on George Thomas Coker see also section. Help in updating these as you come across them would be appreciated.

Things to do

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)[reply]

recipients of the Silver World Award

(only in conjunction with something notable, it seems the BSA is in the habit of giving these out to any random dictator, like the nobel prize)

Current members of the World Scout Committee

Ahmad Alhendawi will succeed Scott Teare in March 2017 as the Secretary General of WOSM. Alhendawi began his involvement in Scouting at the age of 13 when he joined the movement in Jordan. He has maintained an interest and involvement in youth support, the Scouting movement, and non-formal education throughout his career.

His recent engagement with Scouting includes making the closing speech at the World Jamboree in Japan 2015, as well as the keynote speech at the 12th World Scout Youth Forum in 2014.

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]

Translation requests

Image requests

Missing Scout and Guide national emblems

Main page: Category:Wikipedia requested national Guide or Scout emblems

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
