Hi Education folks, I recently met a U.S. Boy Scout leader here in the U.S. I believe that I heard that a boy scout one earned a merit badge by way of Wikipedia contributions, so I mentioned this to the scout leader and encouraged him to follow up with me about the possibility of scouts creating or editing content on Wikipedia (and possibly Commons). Boy scouts are typically in grades 6 through 12, and are normally to ages 12 to 17. I am wondering if anyone has had experience with introducing Wikimedia in the middle school age group, because it sounds like this scout leader has scouts in his unit that are of that age. I am thinking that there might be an opportunity here to get at least one group of scouts involved with creating or editing Wikimedia content that is related to their scouting interests. For example, it might be nice if they would take photos of their outdoor activities and upload them to Commons, or write about wilderness skills and environmental conservation activities. Thanks, Pine _______________________________________________ Education mailing list Education(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/education
