[edit] Japanese Brownies

I'm not at all sure that Japanese Brownies are called Watakushi as this page suggests - that is a word meaning 'I' (like watashi). The [1] website suggests they are just called 'Brownies', but I have emailed the organisation to check and will report back if I get a response. -- Lucy (a wiki newbie - be gentle!)

Thanks, Lucy, I don't know either, not (yet) speaking Japanese, would love to know what you find out. Chris 00:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attention tag

Needs updating, verification, and programs expansion. Rlevse 18:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

And we could use most of the articles at ja:Category:スカウト活動, especially these people.

• 秋月左都夫 1858年（安政5）2月24日 - 1945年（昭和20）6月25
• 久留島武彦 1874年6月19日 - 1960年6月27日
• 小柴博 1884年11月9日 - 1925年6月19日
• Houteng Xinping 1857年7月24日） - 昭和4年（1929年）4月13日
• 佐野常羽 1871年（明治4)7月3日 - 1956年(昭和31)1月25日
• 下田豊松 1887年 - 1972年10月10日
• 北条時敬 1858年（安政5）3月23日 - 1929年4月27日
• 三島通陽 1897年1月1日 - 1965年4月20日

and to find how Emperor Hirohito, Viscount Makoto Saito and General Maresuke Nogi are related to Scouting through the Japanese Wikipedia.

[edit] Classification

With a B-Class rating, I'd rather expect a bit more info in the article. I didn't re-grade it but explicitly retained the immediate-attention-required rating as well. Unfortunately, my Japanese is rather lowly, and therefore I cannot grab info from the Japanese article. I hope others can step in. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 20:41, 27 September 2006 (UTC).

Is there a reverse way to tag the Japanese article with the request for translation _from_ it? Chris 02:22, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• • I don't know. My Japanese is very limited (euphemistically put). How is yours? Is there additional info in it? Wim van Dorst (Talk) 21:26, 29 September 2006 (UTC).

Mine is nonexistent, that was one of my goals to learn before Sheri died, this year. Sorry. Chris 23:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Change to translation request

I have translated the article ja:日本ジャンボリー as Nippon Jamboree. It was submitted as a source of information for this article, but I felt it would make more sense to add it separately.

However, there is a lot more information that could be added at ja:ボーイスカウト (essentially all of Section 2), so I have changed the translation note on the article page to point to that. If anyone is interested in having this information added, maybe they could resubmit the request. --Grgcox 15:36, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction

"Although Scouting activity was minimal during World War II, membership in 2001 was 165,544." - I don't see an immediate connection...should they be split in two sentences, or did I miss something? Ornilnas 11:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

You're right, that's horrible, and I don't know when it got changed. Yes, please split it. Chris 14:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] citation

There was a citation request to "Fuji Scout". Kiku Scout (translates to Chrysanthemum Scout) is the highest rank in Boy Scouts section. "Fuji Scout" is the highest rank in Venture Scouts section. Please refer to section 2.2 of ja:ボーイスカウト

Regarding the uniform, please cite the source for "Scouts favor the Smokey Bear style hats". The official uniform for Boy Scout section and above is green beret. --Shun1990 01:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
