Name change edit
While I do not have a particular issue with the name change to cover the B-PSA exclusively, I would point out as a former Senior Scout in the Scout Association and an informal leader of Senior Scout units, that the term "Senior Scout" has a proud history in several countries and outside what is now called traditional Scouting. Wikipedia is not just about the present. It should reflect the history of Scouting. I am now unclear where this should go. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:19, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Brian. I agree, but this change relates to a request by Ed, on the BPSA discussion page, to have BPSA specific pages for our sections. As I created this entry, and have not yet gathered enough material sources for a generic page on Senior Scouts, I have made this edit. I am hoping to find some decent sources for the general Senior Scouts page once I have completed the BPSA section pages.
- Somehow Senior Scouts seem to have dropped through the net on most Scouting History pages. DiverScout (talk) 11:40, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Scouting Topics template edit
This template on this article is putting the article in the Scout Association category. What to do? --Bduke (Discussion) 22:33, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- What we discussed before: Have a ScoutBPSA template specific to the B-PSA, a ScoutTSA template specific to TSA and a ScoutUK template to give an overview of Scouting in the UK. ScoutUK would link only the top articles for each NSO- TSA, B-PSA and GUK along with the country and any universal regional articles. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 23:39, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- I would prefer it that templates did not include categories. Putting an article in a category should be something done in the open after thought and not automatically through a template. --Bduke (Discussion) 23:47, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ah- you are correct. Navboxes should not transclude categories. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 01:42, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
And it doesn't. Category:The Scout Association was stuffed up in the article. Ah- the joys of cut & paste. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 01:48, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ah! I did not think to look higher up in the article and just assumed it was the template that added it. Thanks for resolving it. --Bduke (Discussion) 03:10, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Edit edit
For the record, Rover Scouts did replace the original Senior Scout programme, as was indicated. I'm not sure that it needed a "See also", but it is important that this fact remains in the text body. DiverScout (talk) 11:15, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
