Removed section on "German Scouting abroad"

[edit]

I removed the following section from the article:

==German Scouting abroad==
A number of associations offers Scouting to people of German descent living outside of Germany. They form several groups, among them:
The internationally recognized German associations and the minority associations are members of the Deutschsprachige Konferenz der Pfadfinderverbände (DSK) [1] [2].

My reasons:

  • The article deals with Scouting in Germany, not with "German-speaking Scouting". If we would take this second viewpoint, it would be necessary to include also Austria, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Belgium and France (Alsace) - in all these regions exist German speaking organizations and units - but we would leave the systematic of organizing "Scouting by ..." by countries.
  • The DSK is an umbrella of Central European organizations within WOSM or WAGGGS; it was started as a language based meeting but has developped to a common platform including some clearly non-German (language) organizations.
  • Both organizations mentioned are not affiliated to any German (country) organizations. The SP maintains some contacts to the DPSG but is far stronger connected to Austrian, Italian and Slowenian organizations. The DPB Namibia is totally on its own, nearly all existing contacts broke during the last years, it is no member of the DSK.
  • There are, in fact, very few German (country) Scout units abroad of Germany, perhaps four or five: two or three in Spain, one in Italy, one in the UK. Only one of these belongs to the four WOSM/WAGGGS-recognized associations since there is a very strict policy concerning the establishment of German units out of bonds. The international non-recognition of German (country) Scouting in the 1920s and early 1930s is strongly connected with the existence of numerous German (country, culture) groups in the adjacent countries mostly affiliated to one of Germany's associations. --jergen (talk) 10:03, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Schachbrett

[edit]

Image:Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Schachbrett.png exists at Commons, are they still active? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 10:50, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Schachbrett" (chessboard/checkerboard) is the colloquial name of the badge and does not refer to an association. As far as I know there is no organization in Germany still using it. It was the emblem of the first "Deutscher Pfadfinderbund" between 1911 and the mid-1920s. Later, it was used by some Scouting organizations positioned in the political right (pre 1933 and post 1945). The last and most notable of these was the "Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Westmark" who changed his name to Deutscher Pfadfinderbund Mosaik during a process of interior democratization in the 1980s. --jergen (talk) 17:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tents

[edit]

There are much more kinds of tents in Germany! A Kröte (Toad) is a one-person tent made of one plane of the Kohte. A Lokomotive (locomotive) is a two-person tent made of two planes of a Kohte. A Jurte is a very traditional tent. It is made of eight Kohte-planes and eight square planes. You use the ones of the Kohte as a roof and the square omes below the others as the sidewalls. A Phoenix is a Jurte with sixteen square planes. A Theater (theater) is a Jurte which was made longer with square planes in the middle. You can make fire in every tent bigger than a Lokomotive, because there always is a hole in the middle. But the smoke often stays inside. 2A0A:A540:F927:0:5015:E481:6D46:A802 (talk) 20:37, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
