Camp Raymond (BSA) merge

[edit]

Camp Raymond (BSA) does not meet notability and should be merged. IF the Grand Canyon Council can be properly expanded, then it can be split into a separate article.

Correction to Scouting in Arizona, section on "Early history' and original sources

[edit]

I wrote most of the section on The founding of the boy Scouts in Arizona. Several people have added and changed my original contribution back in 2011 (I think that was the year).

There now several things in this section that should be corrected and the citations should be updated:

  • in the first sentence, Fredrick Russell Burnham is listed as a co-founder as the boy scouts of America.
the citation is from a Resolution of the Roosevelt Council, Nov. 19, 1947.
the problem: although burnham was a scout with Baden Powell in Africa, he was not a 'co-founder' of the Boy Scouting programs in England or in the U.S. I refer you to the Wiki article on the founding of the Boy Scouts of America. If you need additional source, I can cite several printed books including information from the Boy Scouts of America national office. Burnham moved back to Arizona and worked with the Roosevelt Council until his death in 1947.
  • The three citations given by #2 are no longer available. The citation gives the website (and history) of the grand canyon council. The council has removed the articles on their history. I am in the process of getting the original citations for the statements cited by #2. I would like to retype this section slightly and then add the ORIGINAL citations (dated newspaper articles now microfilmed by the library of congress). This ways the citation remains permanent instead so that they can be removed from a website and become a 'broken link'.
  • The second paragraph with the timing and location of scouting units. This needs to be change to be reordered by time and location AND WITH ORIGINAL CITATIONS. The current citations found in #3 from the Otis H Chidelster Scout museum of southern Arizona. Again the original information which I cited in my original article has been removed from their website.
I have found original sources which can be substituted for the citations from the museum
  • the third paragraph should be integrated into the second paragraph in the proper order of where and when.

NOW FOR MY QUESTION - Do I need permission to make these changes to the article, especially to the part which I wrote and submited? If so, to whom do I present my changes and get permission? If not, do I just rewrite the article with my citation and wait for someone to check it out?

Girl Scouting and Early History

[edit]

I've done some quick updating on Girl Scouting but I wanted to note that the Early History section of the article is strictly Early History of the Boy Scouts of America (this is a problem across a lot of the Scouting in X state articles). --Erp (talk) 20:22, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated about half of the Scouting in X state articles, and what you say is true. I do my best to clean-up the sections. How do you suggest we get more people to write the history of the GSUSA? --evrik (talk) 21:02, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think part of the problem is fewer people have written about it so we don't have many secondary sources. If we are lucky someone from Cactus-Pines's history committee (or even some girl scouts near the museum) will notice the edits here and maybe hook in some sources. I suspect there is some interesting history about Girl Scouts and the Navajo Nation and other Native American groups.[1] BTW while doing some hunting I found a little info on The Golden Eaglet a 1918 20 minute film advertising Girl Scouts by showing the progress of one Girl Scout to the rank of Golden Eaglet (the top rank at that time) complete with a drama of helping a robbed and beaten telegraph operator.[2] It was written by Josephine Daskam Bacon and might be significant enough for its own article. --Erp (talk) 22:49, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
