The English ScoutWiki is a free Scouting resource that anyone can edit. It's part of the ScoutWiki Network. This resource gives us the opportunity to create articles that would not meet Wikipedia's guidelines. Some of the kinds of things we can create here are:

  • "How-to" articles on Scout skills
  • Articles on patch collecting that include patch galleries
  • Any other resources that Scouts and Scouters might find useful

Just as Wikipedia is not free webhosting, the English ScoutWiki is not free webhosting either. If Wikipedia has an article about a person, we should link to that article. Articles about individual Scouts and Scouters are not appropriate here.

We are not bound by Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, though articles should not advocate a bias or advertise a service. Rather, we should have a "helpful" point of view - this is to be a useful resource and to the extent that offering a information from personal experience helps to communicate that view, that's ok.
