Merge- the Ten Mile article needs a lot of expansion before the camps should be considered for a fork. --—— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 20:59, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - Just not enough here to justify the fork, and if left separate, they could potentially both be put up for deletion. Justinm1978 (talk) 21:32, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and find some sources. The names of the individual area directors is probably TMI. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 01:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could the lead be clearer that this is about Scouting?[edit]

I just arrived here in the process of disambiguating the different meanings of Greater New York. Could the lead paragraph or the title make it a little clearer that the very general title "Greater New York Councils" refers (I presume) to Scouting? Thanks. —— Shakescene (talk) 13:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about now? --—— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk - 14:57, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing that, Mr. (or Ms., or Scout) Gadget. Looks fine to me now. —— Shakescene (talk) 01:05, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Governor Al Smith pictured with Scouts[edit]

I stumbled into this page, as a non-New Yorker who's never been associated with Scouting, basically by chance (see above), but I thought the editors of this or other New York Scouting pages might be interested in a picture of New York Governor Al Smith looking like he's having a great time with a group of Scouts. The caption reads:

Governor Smith with Scouts. There were few duties he enjoyed more than occasions like this one. The private colection of Anne Smith Cadigan.

I found it in the middle of the photo section (pp. 224-5) of the following biography (opposite a picture of Gov. Smith throwing out the very first pitch at Yankee Stadium):

Empire Statesman: the Rise and Redemption of Al Smith, by Robert A. Slayton, The Free Press (Simon & Schuster), 2001, ISBN 0-684-86302-2
