WikiProject Scouting Newsletter[edit]

Map of council camps[edit]
I recently saw a thread on a Boy Scout Volunteer Facebook group that mentioned the best list of BSA camps is the List of council camps (Boy Scouts of America) article, but that it's cumbersome to view, especially on a phone. Is there anyone interested in making a map of the active camps? GoingBatty (talk) 22:21, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Well, wikimapia is an option, like this entry, otherwise you can ask for help on the technical pages here on how to best format the page to be used better on a mobile device.--evrik (talk) 04:15, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Most of this can be done in Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates. For an example of coordinates in lists, see List of national monuments of the United States. --jergen (talk) 11:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
- Well, scoutwiki is an option, like https://nl.scoutwiki.org/Terreinen_in_Europa --Egel Reaction? 21:43, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
