While West Yorkshire is still listed on the template at the bottom of the page, you will notice that Scotland, Wales and Northern Island have had all Scout Counties added to the template. It remains for this to be done for England. This is currently the only article on Scouting in a particular area and it may need to be modified as a pattern emerges as how best to do these articles. My own opinion is that the County is too small and using Counties would lead to far too many articles, but this is up to UK resident editors. Is West Yorkshire actually a Scout County? --Bduke 21:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes West Yorkshire is a Scout County

Notability edit

I have consulted with another editor - outside of Scouting. Assuming good faith, I'm afraid that I cannot see that these new sites fit in with Wikipedia as they appear effectively nothing more than a list of branches of The Scout Association. For further information on this please see the section Wikipedia is not a soapbox on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, notably the section on advertising. Even when open to Groups of all Associations these pages were of suspect standard, and closing them to independent Groups has not helped in any way.

I suggest returning them to their original format, a new format that allows all Scouting in a County to be reported, or, alternatively, deleted as inappropriate. -- DiverScout (talk) 19:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
