Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting is part of the Scouting WikiProject, an effort to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Scouting and Guiding on the Wikipedia. This includes but is not limited to boy and girl organizations, WAGGGS and WOSM organizations as well as those not so affiliated, country and region-specific topics, and anything else related to Scouting. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.ScoutingWikipedia:WikiProject ScoutingTemplate:WikiProject ScoutingScouting
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
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.
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
There are actually quite a few unsourced similar dab pages. Do you all want to keep them and source them, or delete them? Bearian (talk) 12:51, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that the description at the top for the purpose of the articles Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, etc. didn't exactly make sense: "General summary pages that have see also links to other Scouting pages. Used to avoid to lead users to more indepth 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"; the previous version was "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 ". I edited it so it made some sense. I hunted down the revision (July 2007) where the last change took place (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Scouting&oldid=144658662) and the discussion related to it Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Scouting/Archive_2007#Girl_Guides_-_dab_or_stub?. However the discussion doesn't seem to fully support the change in text. In addition the Girl Guides article certainly isn't following either version. Thoughts? --Erp (talk) 10:20, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
