Frankly, I don't see the need for this article. The BSA material is better covered elsewhere and each association has a unique organization. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 16:44, 26 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

The need for this article is to link patrol and group and to tell the differences between patrol, troop and group. --Egel Reaction? 18:42, 26 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rewrite please

edit

The topic is notable but only gives one reference to a book about Scouting, which isn't good. The article has some grammatical mistakes, and there can definitely be more information added on the subject (as in actual sections, see pl:Drużyna_(harcerstwo), the Polish article on the same topic). I'll rewrite it if I have time, but would appreciate if someone else did as well. Philmonte101 😊😄😞 (talk) 21:30, 22 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'll take up the challenge of rewriting this. I'm knowledgeable on the subject, but this would be my first article so I'd appreciate it if somebody could do a major edit once I've completed it. I'll work on it over the next day or 2. ZARover (talk) 15:56, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Etymology

edit

Can somebody keep an eye open for the first use of the term 'Scout troop'. Scouting for Boys seems to already assume the reader knows what a troop is, and it would be interesting to include the origin of the term and BP's reasoning for choosing it.ZARover (talk) 17:04, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Den Chief is not relevant to Scout troop. The only connection is that a member of a Scout troop may be a Den Chief. A member of a Scout troop could live next door or eat pickles. The lack of relevance becomes apparent when attempt is made to rephrase the sentence to make Scout troop the subject - "A Scout troop may have a member who is a Den Chief working with his local Cub Scout pack to develop leadership skills". It has to be qualified ("may") which is a give away as to relevance and the subject is still the member or Den Chief not the Scout troop. I suggest Den Chief may be relevant to an article on Cubs. Similarly for Bugler.1.129.96.165 (talk) 07:48, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
