Greater New York

New York appears to be different from most councils. If I have it right, the council name is Greater New York Councils (note the s), it is divided into five bouroughs that are then divided into districts. Please correct me if I am wrong, but it appears that the list here is a bit wrong. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 15:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Gadget, you are correct. GNYC is divided into the 5 boroughs. They also own the Ten Mile River camping reservation. I added a couple of minor details under the Cedarlands Scout Reservation section, since ive been on staff there for 3 years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by R.a.dangler (talk • contribs)

"22 Councils"

Hasn't this decreased with some recent mergers? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.153.143.44 (talk • contribs) 16:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

OA Lodges?

I see some listed, but they aren't very in-depth... any plans to add more information? (I'd add information for the ones I know about, but I don't want to make it look strange by having information for some and not all... 128.153.143.44 20:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Camp Russell

My suspicion is that the section just added was copied from camp promotional material, but I can't confirm this with a web search. Regardless, it is not written in encyclopediac tone. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 13:50, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

This article is full of inline external links, a no-no. See Wikipedia's External links policy. Many of them could be converted to references, though often the same site appears in a reference in the same section. They really have to go. Wikipedia is not a directory. This is fundamental stuff. Also, this is not the place to advertise-- see the Camp Russell section. -- Mwanner | Talk 23:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Adirondack District

I'm adding Adirondack District to Twin Rivers Council, and removing Adirondack Council. Adirondack is now a part of Twin Rivers. I'll also be adding Rotary Scout Reservation's Official Link to the links section. 72.226.77.21
