Guiding on the Wikipedia. This includes but is not limited to boy and girl organizations,
WAGGGS and
WOSM organizations as well as those not so affiliated, country and region-specific topics, and anything else related to Scouting. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the

I've added a History section, using the history given on the club website. I've also expanded the Mascot section and removed the link to the separate page
Erik The Panda, as it was deleted. Hopefully, this is enough for an upgrade at least from "stub". Further expansion may follow if I can find time for research in the Bodleian.

I fully respect that you are probably correct and I have edited the article in response. 40 odd years ago I was involved from Oxford in organising the first meeting of University Scout and Guide Clubs/Crews/whatever from around the World as the the first Scout and Guide Witan at Gilwell Park. I wish it was better documented so we could add information to WP. However, I do recall the real difficulty then in finding information from Europe, although that was better than from the rest of the World. In the end we had a lot of participants from Europe, but few if any from outside Europe, and the 2nd Witan was held near Oslo. I think the dates were 1961 and 1963, but my memory could be wrong. I do not have access to any records. Could you translate that Dutch article to en:WP? --

You have done a great job. I have added the Scout portal tag and moved one image down which gives a better layout and at least on my browser gets the "edit" links on each paragraph correct. I added a bit about the Oxford Group but it still is not correct. The OUSG does not claim on its web site to be the oldest in the world, only in Britain. I have heard the claim but I do not have a source for it. Maybe we should remove the claim from your article. --

Is there any good information why the Oxford Group stopped going to Ennerdale? I still remember many lovely days at Ennerdale. --

Erik the Panda
Erik clearly goes back a long time but it was after my time in the Group. However that section has no links to where the information comes from. If those links are not added in the next week, I will delete the section. --
