Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting

This basic article structure (there have been minor tweaks) was agreed upon by the Scouting WikiProject members in Sep 2006.

Article	Content, remarks
Scouting	Describes the movement of Scouting: history (founding, growth), activities one does in Scouting, organization, should cover both male & mixed sections (Scouts and Cubs) and female only (Girl Guides and Brownies), younger/older sections, international
Scout Movement	Redirect to Scouting
Scout (Scout Movement)	About the members, boys or girls aged 11-17 years, activities they do in Scouting, the Scout section, Troop/Patrol, Scout Law, Motto, Uniform. Not about history, not about the organization or movement.
Scout	Remains disambiguation page
Girl Guide and Girl Scout	About the members of Girl Guiding (Girl Scouting in the USA and some other countries)
Girl Guide, Girl Scout	Redirect to GG&GS (term used in a handful of countries with guiding organizations, including the United States)
Cub Scout, Brownie (Girl Guides)	About the groups for those in age ranges immediately below those in the flagship scouting age groups.
Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell	About the person Baden-Powell, and his personal history. Not about the Scout movement other than his input/influence. Lots of redirects here, btw.
Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, etc	General summary pages that have see also links to other Scouting pages. Use to lead users to more in depth articles. No longer disambiguation pages due to all the confusion of different naming conventions. All other plurals redirect to the singular per Wikipedia standard, not to Scouting or a separate organization oriented article
WOSM, WAGGGS	Articles about the current international organization. Not about the Scouting movement, history pertaining to the organization only.

Proposed for deletion (PROD): World Citizenship Award

FYI, the article World Citizenship Award has been proposed for deletion (WP:PROD). The first sentences summarize the subject this way:

• "The World Citizenship Award is an award of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts(WAGGGS). Launched in 1996, the award is given to people outside the Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting movement who have contributed to a better world in at least one of the following areas - peace, environment, education, food and nutrition, health, and culture and heritage"

This article was rated in 2007 as being of top importance to WikiProject Scouting

The nominator wrote this summary of their concerns:

• "For the life of me, I cannot find independent coverage of this award. Even the WAGGGS website doesn't mention it anymore! I find some trivial book mentions in the form of "so and so won X Y and Z awards", but no significant coverage of the award, its history, its creation, etc."

If you agree or disagree with deletion, there are instructions on the deletion notice for what to do.

Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.
