Merge from Australian Scout Medallion

Very specific award unique to the Australian section. Not notable enough for it's own article but would fit in better with an explanation of the whole award scheme. :: maelgwn talk 06:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support.

Merge. Agree with maelgwn. --Bduke 07:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have done the merge as nobody has objected. --Bduke 22:29, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Scouts Australia.svg

The image Image:Scouts Australia.svg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --04:52, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge of Pioneer Badge here

It is proposed that Pioneer Badge be merged here. It is hardly notable, has few or no references and is linked only from the Oz Jamboree page, not even from this page on the section it belongs to. Also, this badge must exist in many organisations other than Scouts Australia. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:51, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

support The only reason it has survived for two years is because it was in a non-existent category. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 01:08, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found it in Category:Scouting in Australia when I was emptying it this morning. That category completes the S & G changes for Oceania, I think. --Bduke (Discussion) 06:19, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was in "Scouts in Australia" until 1 Dec 2008 when someone fixed it. Regardless, merge. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 10:57, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge completed. --Bduke (Discussion) 03:22, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from The Australian Scout Award Scheme

Seems no need to have that article separate. If retained, needs links to and from this one. 85.211.13.188 (talk) 13:16, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fully support a merge. This topic is not notable enough for a separate article. It is also badly named as it is not clear that it refers only to the Scouts Australia Scout section award scheme. It needs to be significantly pruned down when the merge is done. --Bduke (Discussion) 21:32, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It now has been moved to The Australian Scout Award Scheme. It now fits and therefore I have removed the tag Levonscott User talk:Levonscott User:Levonscott 10:52, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted that. Let the merge discussion continue. The reasons for merging it were only slightly about the incorrect title. Since you created this article, you should not be trying to preempt the merge discussion. It is essentially a non-notable topic for a stand-alone article. Even Scouts (Australia) is lacking sources, but they should be findable. --Bduke (Discussion) 11:25, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rather late in the game, I have now realised that this article is a copyright violation. It is a direct copy from a Scouts Australia web page. The copyright of that is held by Scouts Australia, so this article is not acceptable on wikipedia. If it is totally rewritten, it would avoid the copyright violation, but it would still be not sufficiently notable for a stand-alone article. Sorry. but we can not put copyrighted material on wikipedia. --Bduke (Discussion) 11:43, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It has been quite rightly deleted as a copyright violation. OK, what is the way forward? More on the award scheme should be added to Scouts (Australia) without of course copying material from the Scouts Australia website. If, at some stage, that material is so large that it affects this article, then it could be moved to a separate article, but only if there are sufficient sources to demonstrate that the topic is notable enough for a separate article. --Bduke (Discussion) 20:56, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the merge tag as the article as gone. --Bduke (Discussion) 07:23, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Promise

An IP editor suggested that there were now three forms of the promise, one of which omitted the duty to my God. I reverted it as this must have a citation. Has there been a change? --Bduke (Discussion) 07:23, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
