Untitled[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

Cleanup needed[edit]

As written, this article is essentially an annotated collection of external links. It is not an encyclopedia article. It could be improved by writing some more informational content and converting those links to reference citations to support the content.--orlady 19:00, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have started on this, and have added a maintained tag. If you would like to help on this, please add yourself to the tag. I am only familiar with the BSA side, and would like some help with Girls Scouts, and any other scouting organization in Tennessee. What does everyone think being an overview with links directing to the specific councils pages(that have not been created yet)?? Click23 (talk) 15:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

==Importance==

Low importance. This topic is not of interest for a general audience. This is true at least for the Wiki project Tennessee. The scouting project should have the last word on any issues regardig this aticle.

==Quality==

Start class. The article is structured but mostly contains lists. To improve quality, images could be added and a references should be introduced.

Own Council Articles[edit]

I feel like some of the Boy Scouting councils need their own Wikipedia pages. Some of them already do, looks like it needs to be consistent.

Following are needed:

I don't know about the Girl Scouts very much, but they might need their own articles as well:
