"reading like an advertisement"

This article, as well as the ones for Transatlantic and Far East Councils, must read differently as administratively they are very much different than Scouting in the United States itself. Unless you can come up with some of your _own_ changes to make it sound less commercial to you, I will remove the tag shortly. Kintetsubuffalo 03:32, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Membership list of countries

Why are some countries linked to the country article and not others? Should they all be linked to country articles - note main country article not scouting country article. --Bduke 01:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

merge

Should we consider merging Far East and Transatlantic Councils and Direct Service, as we are trying to integrate Girl Scout Councils into the state articles, perhaps "American Scouting overseas" or something? Chris 20:15, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I must have missed the discussion on this. The use of "American" here is ambiguous: shouldn't it be "United States". Or does it cover Canada, Mexico, Brazil, etc. as well? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 22:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was one of the last discussions on the project page before the last batch got archived. No, the adjectives would then be "Canadian", "Mexican", and there is no other such adjective that is suitable. Salma Hayek is an Arab-Mexican, Lorne Michaels is a Jewish-Canadian, and Governor Arnie is an Austrian-American. Since this is the English-language Wikipedia, the naming convention would be acceptable. Chris 18:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not being a very insider of Wikiedia and no member of BSA at all, I wished to get an image for the Transatlantic Council paragraph (and the German article as well). Could anyone from "inside" take responsibilities please? Yours in Scouting, FloK 22:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I am not a part of the "inside" but here is an image of the Transatlantic Council "round the world" emblem which I wore as a young Cub Scout and later young Boy Scout.

[[1]]

The area served by the Transatlantic Council (TAC for short) has expanded and contracted as the nations which had Americans stationed with various military organizations and civilians working for various trans-national agencies and firms changed. Currently, just about every nation in Europe, three nations in the Near East, and one nation (Morrocco) in North Africa "belongs" to TAC. Those areas outside of those areas are served by the BSA's Direct Service (no longer a "Council"; they refer to themselves simply as the "Direct Service" since 1998).

The Council also has a shield logo which was also used for a special leadership recognition emblem. I do not have access to that emblem right now but can follow-up if the moderation team agrees to provide them or post it here.

I have the patches in my collection. We can't just stuff them in though, images can only be used to enhance the text content. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 23:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I lived in Neu-Ulm for six years. I have a TAC patch, a "world" patch with several segments, a Black Eagle Lodge flap and an Alpine District (now defunct) patch from 1989 or so- I know the design has changed. I also have patches for Camp Dahn, Camp Freedom, Bayern High Adventure Camp, Berlin Historical Trail, Hohenstaufen Scout Trail and several others. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 22:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! Of the Berlin Trail I've even never heard so far. Could you scann or photograph them (at least the council's one)? FloK 15:09, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to scan these in the next week or so. The Berlin Historical Trail was really cool as we did East and West Berlin. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 17:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Philippine Council

There is a *considerable* amount of information on the Philippine Council of BSA at http://mbcenter.org/history/p5_pcbsa.php . Is it worth adding here and if not here, where? I'd like to see equivalent information for the other International Councils which no longer exist. I know that the articles for Scouting in an individual state might not include information on some of the historical councils, but I think the situation is different enough that it does belong here.Naraht (talk) 15:32, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
