Would Wikipedians entertain the idea of having the Councils-by-state sections recategorized to "Scouting in Arizona", "Scouting in Washington", and so on, rather than a list of every council and district? The reason I would like this considered is
1) no other country's Scouting articles are divided into such minute details (except for The Scout Association of Hong Kong, and really, is that much minutiae important or interesting to the reader?)
2) many councils that a reader may choose to look up, like the Fitchburg Area Council of Massachusetts or the Vigilante Area Council of Montana, went extinct 30+ years ago, yet may be of interest in a more state-based article
3) many states like Alaska share a communal Scout history, only fairly recently being broken into smaller councils, others like North Dakota had several merged into one, and some Scouting histories are better told encompassing an entire state. The fact that Scouts in California prior to the charter of the BSA were the youth arm of the California Highway Patrol, or the fact that Connecticut, while having only eight counties, has had 22 councils over the course of its history, would be well-included in a statewide article

With some refs and history, this'd be a B-class article. Rlevse 10:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

There are so many council here. I have redirected many to Boston Minuteman Council, but I'm not sure I've captured them all. -- evrik ( talk) 17:33, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Does anyone happen to know why the Old Colony Council no longer owns Camp Child? I was sorry to see that it is no longer a Scout property. I spent several summers there with my troop in the mid sixties. It's a shame it is gone - declining participation in Scouting I would guess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.154.33.120 ( talk • contribs) 4 August 2007
