• @North8000 and JGHowes: Have you seen this? I think it's accurate. How can we integrate it into one of the articles? --evrik ^(talk) 05:33, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

•  Comment: The chart is in a more readable pdf format here: https://www.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Restructure-of-Councils-by-Territory.pdf . As I understand it, the "Churchill Plan" at this point is still under study and not yet implemented, according to this: https://scoutingwire.org/understanding-the-churchill-plan-and-what-it-means-for-scouting/

Besides council/regional changes, two of the significant program recommendations are:

• terminate Learning for Life;
• eliminate Sea Scouting as a separate branch.

Unless it's adopted for implementation, the Churchill Plan is still

WP:CRYSTALBALL, so at most a brief mention of the study being undertaken in 2019 would suffice, citing https://scoutingwire.org/understanding-the-churchill-plan-and-what-it-means-for-scouting/ .  JGHowes  ^talk 13:28, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply

• Thanks for the ping. My thoughts are similar to JGHowes.....BTW, I've been is BSA for 61 years and in district service for 50 years and never heard of anything coming from or relevant to the regional level organization. Although a long time ago they had pseudo-national bases nameed by regions, e.g. Region 7 and Region 10 canoe bases. The only time I know that regional organization exist is when I drive past a regional HQ and wonder what they do there. North8000 (talk) 19:58, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• @North8000 and JGHowes: I think that Regions of the Boy Scouts of America, and have been replaced with these new ideas. I think we should fold the four regional articles into one and develop a new article. --evrik ^(talk) 14:08, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• @North8000, Reywas92, and Buffs: How do we best make an article out of this? --evrik ^(talk) 19:47, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would be good if we could find out what infrastructure there is for each of these. Staffing, office etc.. If we don't find much it might be best to just expand the section in the BSA article a bit and put in links to the BSA info on maps etc. Either as external links or as references. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 21:56, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's best to simply outline what the territories are and leave it at that. A map would be sufficient Buffs (talk) 22:02, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've started a draft, Draft:National Service Territories. --evrik ^(talk) 03:05, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
