111:'s unanswered talk page comments about two weeks ago, this 2006 promotion is no longer up to par. Rogers is cited about 30 times with the same 40-odd pages page range, this appears to be just about the entire book based on an Amazon search. There is significant uncited text. There are one or two other books cited without a page range (the two Rogers books cited may actually be the same thing). I'm doubting that Pine Tree Web is particularly reliable, and Wood Badge.org may not be a high-quality RS. Personally, I find the extremely heavy reliance on Scouting Association-published materials a bit worrisome, since the organization runs this as a camp. We need some more independent sources for FA. Personally, I consider statements such as 147:. I agree with the above criticism, but I want to point out that Gilwell Park is the centre of Scout Leader training in the world. People come from all over the world to attend Leader Training Courses there. A Wood Badge, which leader training gives you from a course there, is valued all over the world. The article does not reflect this. Gilwell Park is used by local scouts from London and scouts from across the UK, but the real importance of Gilwell Park is that it is the world centre of leader training. If it does not reflect this important role, it certainly is not a good article. -- 123:
in the lead does not appear to be mentioned in the body. In my opinion, this needs significant work to be brought back up to FA status. I did not notify the original FAC nominator as they are retired and their user talk page is admin-protected, so I cannot edit it.
