This page is to facilitate my role as mediator for the WikiProject Scouting. It is based on that from Mediation_Cabal but is entirely separate.

Please observe Etiquette and Talk Page Etiquette in disputes. If you submit complaints or insults your edits are likely to be removed by the mediator and refactoring of the mediation case by anybody but the mediator is likely to be reverted. Note that this page is based on those used by the Mediation_Cabal but this mediation is not an official Mediation Cabal mediation (not that they are official!).
