Scouting, also known as the Scout Movement, is a worldwide youth movement employing the Scout method, a program of informal education with an emphasis on practical outdoor activities, including camping, woodcraft, aquatics, hiking, backpacking, and sports. In 1907, Robert Baden-Powell, a Lieutenant General in the British Army, held a Scouting encampment on Brownsea Island in England. Baden-Powell wrote Scouting for Boys (London, 1908), partly based on his earlier military books. The Scout Movement of both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts took off all on its own with boys starting patrols and troops, growing into the cultural force it is today.

Qualified, with ten articles, half of which are featured, and the others all good articles. --evrik (talk) 17:20, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose – firstly because the lead scouting article isn't a featured article. Secondly, because I simply don't understand this collection of articles; exactly what constitutes this as a complete topic? It seems like some random assortment of people, organisations and concepts involved with scouting, whose articles just happen to be recognised. Idiosincrático (talk) 18:28, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose and quick fail. Scouting is a former featured article and thus not eligible. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:16, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
