The Boy Scout Handshake is the traditional shake, done with the left hand instead of the right.

Does this mean "traditional handshake"? The Boy Scout handshake isn't a normal handshake... -- bdesham

Never saw you defend your edit. Words in quotes are exactly what the BSA believes.


Hey, there is a Boy Scouts page as well which seems to cover much of the same material as this page. I think it would be a good idea to say that "the BSA is a Boy Scouting Organization based in America, and that it is similar, but differs in these ways.... "etc. etc. This might be a good idea, maybe not, but one worth consideration. Narcissus 00:44, 5 Oct 2003 (UTC)

You propose basically to make this page a subpage of Scouting. I don't think that that's a good idea, because global Scouting is a loose confederacy, with scores of member organizations, so it's difficult to generalize. I've added a prominent reference to global Scouting to the opening paragraph, but I doubt that any further modification is warranted. -Smack 06:18, 5 Oct 2003 (UTC)
