General discussion on these region Scouting pages

[edit]

There has been a discussion at Talk:Scouting in South West England#Not a satisfactory article that could equally apply to this article and all other 11 region articles in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I have moved the discussion to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting#Scouting in the regions of England. Please take a look. --Bduke (Discussion) 09:37, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hampshire Scout County is a recent recreation of Hampshire Scout County (The Scout Association), which was changed into a redirect to the administrative region article, Scouting in South East England, in 2008, along with all other articles on Scout Association Scout Counties. There are now no articles on Scout Counties or Scout Districts of the Scout Association. They simply lack sufficient notability to have stand-alone articles, while there is sufficient space in the articles on the administrative regions which cover Scouting in the Scout Association and other Scout Associations. However, "Hampshire Scout County", is a likely search term, so this article should be merged, making it a redirect, rather than deleted. There is a little material here about the earliest Scout Troops that could be added to Scouting in South East England, if sources can be found. The present stub has no sources. Please add your views below on merging this article. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:39, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of groups

[edit]

An IP editor has twice added a list of groups in one District. It has twice been deleted. The guideline on listing Groups or Troops is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/Country and region articles, where the first point is "Lists of individual Scout Troops, Units or Groups, or external links to their web sites, are not acceptable. There are notability and verifiability issues. Where these have existed, most edits have added or removed material with no sources. These lists are not maintainable. Only a very small number of individual units have proved to be notable enough to have their own articles". This was widely discussed and resulted in the removal of lists of Groups in many articles including those on Scouting in the UK, Singapore, and other countries. I think I started the discussion off in the second paragraph of Talk:The Scout Association/Archive 2#County/Area articles. I have not yet found later discussions, but there was clear consensus for all Scouting articles. --Bduke (Discussion) 07:10, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

University Scouting

[edit]

There is mention in the article of Scout and Guide Clubs. Should we mention the earlier existence of Rover Scout Crews? I raise it here because a long time ago in the 1960s I was Assistant Rover Scout Leader of the Oxford University Rover Crew followed by a year as Rover Scout Leader of the Reading University Rover Crew. Of course sources might be difficult but I think Scouting at Oxford is documented. --Bduke (talk) 21:17, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
