Talk:Scout Motto

message: As the Scout motto, this is one of the world's very well-known slogans, so I'm starting a page specifically about it. I'm moving the other (comparatively minor) uses to a Be Prepared (disambiguation) page.
Future contents can include translations into many more languages, the origins of the motto, the play on Baden-Powell's initials, etc. Zaian 19:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The result of the debate was moved. This proposal has been sitting around for 4 months with no opposition, so I've been bold and continued with the move. -Patstuarttalk|edits 15:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: What would you folks think, if we make this a table like the WOSM membership list? Chris 08:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I went off of Trefoil round the World, which only used the pair for Chile. If you would like to correct, feel free, I noticed the book had many typos. Chris 02:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Also, there was no structure to the original list, so I made it a table. I just can't figure out what to do with Esperanto (Estu preta), Interlingua (Sempre Preste), and Uighur (Tayyar Bol). Should a "language" column be added, maybe right after country? Chris 02:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Where did those translations come from? The Chinese translations are pretty bad. They mean "prepare" or "to prepare", which is awkward when spoken independently or used as motto. --Voidvector (talk) 02:01, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chinese translations 

message: Is there really a need for the translation of this motto into every possible language?  I mean, if each country's scouting association had a totally unique motto, then maybe, but as it is these are simply the closest translations of "Be Prepared" into each respective language. I think the appropriate place for this information is in a field of  on each national scouting association's page, or in a translations box at :wikt:Be Prepared.  — ˈzɪzɨvə (talk) 02:32, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
