Talk:Scouting in Florida

Council info
Can any info be found about the Suwanee River, Gulf Coast, and Gulf Stream councils? I will work and see what I can find. Splamo 22:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

As a member of the Gulf Stream Council, I can certainly attempt to help out... I'm relatively new to the Scouting WikiProject, so please tell me what info should be put down here, thanks. Watermellonman 19:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

removed text
I have removed ", along with the popular Winn-Dixie Scout Reservation," it does not belong in the section it was in, it needs to be with its proper council. Chris 03:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Tipisa Lodge Merge

 * Oppose the merge of Tipisa Lodge. Instead the article should be strngthened and expanded. --evrik 16:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strongly Oppose the merger into the Scouting in Florida page because it is an article about a specific Order of the Arrow lodge within Florida. This Scouting in Florida page makes a good summary with links to all Scout parts/groups within the state.  --Mtjaws 17:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

 * retagging for merge the Scouting WikiProject MoS says lodges go under Councils or states and are inherently non notable. Chris 03:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Merge of council articles
I propose to merge the following six articles on local councils into Scouting in Florida. All six have the same content: There are some issues with these six articles: --jergen (talk) 08:22, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * a list of districts
 * a list of campsites (some including extensive lists of campsite features; this can be seen as "blatant advertising" --> WP:CSD G11)
 * a short description of the Order of Arrow lodge.
 * They are very generic and contain no individual information.
 * Most of them are lists, in some cases with extensive web-linking.
 * Reliable third-party sources are missing.
 * Advertising tone.
 * Five of the six articles nominated were recreated after a previous merge into Scouting in Florida.
