Talk:2013 National Scout Jamboree

Happy things
Proposed deletion/dated - concern = Okay, so this is an event. What about it makes it notable? Per WP:EVENT and WP:GNG this should be deleted. Jrcla2 (talk) 07:47, 30 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Re proposed deletion: Strongly disagree with propsed deletion, I believe this is at least as notable as any of the previous National Scout jamborees, as this event is a dry-run for the 24th World Scout Jamboree in 2019. The page needs to be improved, but as the event is a year away further content will inevitably be added as information is released. TacoJim (talk) 06:41, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * There are still no references (more importantly secondary source references), and adding content based upon "inevitable" information to come out is WP:CRYSTAL. Jrcla2 (talk) 12:13, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Ordinarily I would agree that this isn't notable although the rest of the world is watching with interest because the US Scouts continue to discriminate against LGBT people (apparently with support from the US Supreme Court). Finally this is becoming more newsworthy now that some prominent artists have publicly told the Scout Jamboree (whatever a Jamboree is) where to go!--ЗAНИA talk talk] 21:58, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Controversy
There were several controversies leading up to and during the event, including exclusion of obese scouts, their longstanding anti-gay policies , and the high cost of the program as a result of issues with the construction of the Summit Bechtel Reserve vastly exceeding its initial budget.
