 * Redirect doesn't warrant an article since it fails both WP:CLUB and WP:NOTDIR. I can't find to be any hits for this sub-national organisation, save this local newspaper article documenting scouting demographics. The Dorset Scout County is already mentioned in Scouting in South West England. This page is merely a copypaste of that section with an unsourced list of scouting groups in the county.

 * Several years ago there were articles about all the Scout Counties and Areas of the Scout Association in the UK. The one for Dorset was Dorset Scout County (The Scout Association), It was earlier called Scouting in Dorset. Both are now redirects to Scouting in South West England. That is one of a set of articles that discuss Scouting in the administrative regions of the UK. It is not only about the Scout Association. This new County article can be deleted or made yet another redirect to Scouting in South West England. Redirect is probably best, so anyone else who thinks a Scout County article for Dorset is a good idea may get the message. I add that long ago there was consensus in a number of places that lists of Scout Groups, Troops, Crews, packs, etc. were not appropriate on wikipedia. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  05:45, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete -- This is essentially a list article, but it is a list of places where there are scout troops, not a list of articles. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:56, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
