Talk:Scoutcraft

message: I can't be more specific on when the term was first coined - It was not in use in the third edition handbook (from 1927, I have my grandfather's copy). It WAS in use in the sixth edition handbook, first published in 1959 - I have my uncle's and father's copies from 1960s printings. It fell OUT of use by the ninth edition handbook in 1979, but may have already fallen out of use in an earlier edition. It's not used in the tenth edition (1990) either, and I don't have a copy of the eleventh, the current edition. If anyone has copies of more editions, please fill in the appropriate information? --JohnDBuell 16:22, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't say it's not verifiable; if prior usage can be found outside the BSA, it simply will require a rewrite. --JohnDBuell 15:47, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Date of origin?

message: I will soon be editing this article with a more thorough explanation of ScoutCraft (Now officially called the Outdoor Skills program area in BSA material and training) and program goals.  This will include summaries of ScoutCraft skills, practical applications, and merit badges considered "ScoutCraft" badges.

thread_title:  Article Expansion 

message: I see swimming. I know atleast at the camp i work at, thats a waterfront skill.
:At the time the term started to come into use in BSA Handbooks though, it was part of "Scoutcraft". That's what I based the original list on. --JohnDBuell 23:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correct? 

message: Proposal to merge the information in the Firecraft article as a section of the Scoutcraft article and redirect the original article (Support, Oppose, Comment):
*Support - there isn't a lot more that can be said about Firecraft, and it will make more sense to include it within the main article as a section than a seperate article. Horus Kol 11:30, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge from [[Firecraft]] 

message: This is it this month.  This article basically hasn't been been edited in two years, back when Wikipedia was much less credible.  Therefore, it needs.  Here's my preliminary list of suggested improvements
*More images (at least 3)
*Better definition in lead
*Expanded history of differences in what's Scoutcraft from country to country and through the years (e.g. it used to be that signalling was big in Scouting; not as much anymore)
*More mention of Beard and Seton as well as Baden-Powell 
*At least 10 refs

thread_title:  Collabo o' the Month 

message: Both the book "Boy Scout Handbook" 1911 as the "Boy Scout Handbook" 2011 (one hundred years later) clearly differentiate between Scoutcraft and Woodcraft. But here in Wikipedia claim that the two terms are almost the same.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.137.188.105 (talk) 06:34, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scoutcraft really not like Woodcraft (Boy Scout Handbook 1911 & 2011 ed.) 

message: In this article, Fire Building point to Fire making, which does not include selection and preparation of firewood and the different kinds of campfires discussed in the Boy Scout Manual. 
Seems like a forced fit. Kortoso (talk) 20:23, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
