Oppose - the Schiff Reservation is a national entity, not a state or council one. The New Jersey entry doesn't talk about other national entities (like the national office) having been in that state, so why talk about Schiff?

So, because more than 100 articles are using the same source, that means it's a
WP:RS? What makes the author(s) authoritative?
WP:RSSELF says Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications. How does this qualify? --

You said you were a scout, right? Did you ever collect CSPs? Up to 2003 this was the authoritative resource on all the councils that had been founded and closed by the BSA. As a tool to the patch traders, they compiled from BSA sources all the councils. There are a couple of others works like this (look here:
List_of_defunct_councils_(Boy_Scouts_of_America)#Notes). --

Yes, I was a scout. I learned many things which have served me well my entire life. Never got into patch trading, however. But, that's not really the issue. The issue is whether this is a RS. I get that the community of patch traders accept it as such, but enwiki has higher standards. I'm going to ask at
WP:RSN to see what folks there think. --
