[edit] Council info

Can any info be found about the Suwanee River, Gulf Coast, and Gulf Stream councils? I will work and see what I can find. Splamo 22:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

As a member of the Gulf Stream Council, I can certainly attempt to help out... I'm relatively new to the Scouting WikiProject, so please tell me what info should be put down here, thanks. Watermellonman 19:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] removed text

I have removed ", along with the popular Winn-Dixie Scout Reservation," it does not belong in the section it was in, it needs to be with its proper council. Chris 03:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merges

[edit] Tipisa Lodge Merge

The following discussions are an archived debate. Please do not modify it.

Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

  • Oppose the merge of Tipisa Lodge. Instead the article should be strngthened and expanded. --evrik 16:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Strongly Oppose the merger into the Scouting in Florida page because it is an article about a specific Order of the Arrow lodge within Florida. This Scouting in Florida page makes a good summary with links to all Scout parts/groups within the state. --Mtjaws 17:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

  • retagging for merge the Scouting WikiProject MoS says lodges go under Councils or states and are inherently non notable. Chris 03:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Please note: I removed the tag on 16 January 2007 after this sat without comment for a while. My vote is the same. --evrik
  • support The article is pretty much empty after I deleted the history section due to copyvio. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 13:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • support there is practically no information on the original article -- Horus Kol Talk 00:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • support - Lodges go under Councils. Justinm1978 01:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • support it's virtually empty article.Rlevse 01:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Merging the article. --evrik (talk) 13:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

  • support --Gadget850 ( Ed) 13:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • support there is little or no notable history on this reservation article, and the facilities information can easily be condensed to a couple of paragraphs. -- Horus Kol Talk 00:25, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose give the article the time and space it needs to grow. --evrik (talk) 17:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • support - Lodges go under Councils. Justinm1978 01:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • oppose this is an Order of the Arrow lodge and as such should be merged with that article instead, under the lodges subheading, and then given a small new mention in the page of its council, with a link leading to the OA.Tennekis 21:18, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment looks like there is no consensus, best action is to keep. --evrik (talk) 22:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose - Camps are an important part of local scouting history and carry a lot of notability to their areas. I see no reason to merge this article, but it could use expansion. Give it a chance to grow. Justinm1978 01:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
