replies: text: A part of the program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men (Varsity Scouts) who are at least 14 but not yet 18 years old. The unit is a team; the unit leader is a Coach. Emphasis is on advancement, high adventure, personal development, service, and special programs and events. See "Scouting program" and "Varsity."

replies: text: Support.  Varsity Scouts are boys, Varsity Scouting is what they do.  I believe this article is more about what they do than the boys themselves.  --NThurston 14:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Rename suggestion

message: The History section needs to be cut way down, especially since an extant history should more properly be placed in History of the Boy Scouts of America#Varsity Scouts. Any help appreciated! --Eustress (talk) 23:47, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  History weed-out 

message: From a Scouter's perspective, this article misses the whole point of WHY did anyone think a Varsity program was needed given the VENTURE program. Obviously, Varsity exists as a sop to LDS adult leadership, not because National BSA was missing some programmatic hole. It is indistinguishable from the Venture program in aims, purpose, and methods. The degree to which National BSA kowtows to Mormon special interests needs to be discussed. For all intents and purposes, LDS Scouting and everyone else's Scouting run as two parallel tracks with little grass roots interactions. Is anyone brave enough to discuss the money politics behind this anomaly? --Rocket49 (talk) 13:20, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
