unification[edit]

Would Wikipedians entertain the idea of having the Councils-by-state sections recategorized to "Scouting in Arizona", "Scouting in Washington", and so on, rather than a list of every council and district? The reason I would like this considered is

1) no other country's Scouting articles are divided into such minute details (except for The Scout Association of Hong Kong, and really, is that much minutiae important or interesting to the reader?)

2) many councils that a reader may choose to look up, like the Fitchburg Area Council of Massachusetts or the Vigilante Area Council of Montana, went extinct 30+ years ago, yet may be of interest in a more state-based article

3) many states like Alaska share a communal Scout history, only fairly recently being broken into smaller councils, others like North Dakota had several merged into one, and some Scouting histories are better told encompassing an entire state. The fact that Scouts in California prior to the charter of the BSA were the youth arm of the California Highway Patrol, or the fact that Connecticut, while having only eight counties, has had 22 councils over the course of its history, would be well-included in a statewide article Chris 01:07, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting proposal[edit]

@Evrik: I propose that the section Crossroads of America Council be split into a separate page called Crossroads of America Council. The content of the current section is large enough to make its own page- especially if more content is added/expanded. Other BSA Councils have their own pages; see Middle Tennessee Council and Crossroads of the West Council for examples. _Mrwoogi010 ^✉ 14:32, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

??Unless I'm missing something, the current content is one unsourced sentence. Did you mean Hoosier Trails Council? North8000 (talk) 16:05, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and split it out. Look at South Florida Council if you want to see what a quality council artilce looks like. You need to expand on the history section, expand on the camps, and use a lot of citations. --evrik ^(talk) 16:08, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch my previous comment. Looks like I just looked at it in the middle of the transition. North8000 (talk) 17:21, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
