Rovers in Canada

(Copy of material added to users talk page)

I see you have put back the section about a specific crew in Canada to Rover Scouts which is an international article. It is simply not appropriate however notable that one crew is. You will soon find a load of people jumping on you for this. What you need to do is write an article rather like the Australian article, Rovers (Australia). In fact if you look at Category:Scouting in Australia you will see that there is a better coverage, particularly of sections, than in Category:Scouting in Canada. Since your crew looks fairly notable, maybe it can be mentioned in an article on Rovers in Canada, but should be shortened from what you have. It will never survive on the international article. Have you seen Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting. There are guidelines for articles developed by that project. Good luck. --Bduke 07:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the red links above use Category:Scouting and Guiding in Australia and Category:Scouting and Guiding in Canada. --Bduke (talk) 04:26, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of secondary sources

Hello fellow scout wikipedians, I need some help. I have the personal project of making this page up to wikipedia standards. The first challenge I have encountered is the lack of secondary sources. It seems that everything written about rovering was written by other scouts. I'd be happy to know that I haven't looked far enough, and there is a good resource about the history and current situation of Rovering that is not written by people inside the movement, as to keep neutrality. I don't know if any other countries have the Rover Virtues like here in Brazil (but I will find this out in the course of editing this) but I found that my own biggest virtue is Truth. If anyone sees this and has anything to add, let's work together! Drasticomico! (talk) 17:18, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
