Use of Age Range for Cub Scouts in Infobox
Since Cub Scouts membership is based on current grade of the Scout, rather than their age, would it make more sense in the Info Box to list a wider age range than just 5-10, or to instead list K-5th Grade? I was 4 when I started Kindergarten, so based on what's listed here, I couldn't join in Kindergarten which I know is not correct. Additionally, there are some 5th graders that turn 11 before bridging over to Scouts BSA, so perhaps a wider age range is appropriate? Tostie14 (talk) 17:28, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Info boxes always need to be over-abbreviated. I think that giving a general idea based on ages is good even if imperfect. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 17:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
Organization name change in the lead
Nice work! IMO eventually there should be a section on this for two reasons. Would allow putting more on this important news than can fit in the lead. Also the lead should be a summary of what is in the body of the article and I don't see where this is in the body of the article. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 14:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. This information needs to be described in detail in its own section in the article and summarised in the lead. HiLo48 (talk) 23:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Clarity on name change
Based on recent edits which I had to revert, it would be good to summarize.
- The name of the overall organization will officially change from "Boy Scouts of America" to "Scouting America" in 2025. But they are informally starting to use the new name now.
- The name of the flagship program within the organization (roughly speaking the main one serving 11-15 year olds, technically approx 10-18) changed from "Boy Scouts" to "Scouts BSA" in 2019 and there is no additional change to this announced and they specifically said that the announced change does not affect this.
IMO we should not move/rename the article until new name change is official in 2025.
