Assistance is needed for an article on wikipedia

Hi folks,

I am in the process of rewriting the articles on wikipedia that cover
Scouting in the UK by county or region. Basically, I am replacing
articles on Scout Counties or Areas (i.e. Scout Association only) by
articles on official regions (9 in England plus Wales, Scotland and
Northern Ireland) covering all Scouting in the region. I have done
Northern Ireland. The result is:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouting_in_Northern_Ireland

I am now working on Wales. The proposal for this to happen is:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Scouting_in_Wales

That points to a page in my user space that I am developing as a draft.
It is at:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bduke/Sandbox2

I need assistance. If you look at that draft, you will see that I have
links to some Welsh Area Websites and some District websites, but not
for all. It seems that some Areas and some Districts do not have web
sites. I need references to confirm which Districts exist.

So, is there anyone from Wales who can answer these questions:-

1. Are there Area or District web sites I have missed?

2. Are there any non-web references that we could use?

3. Is there more about the history of Scouting in Wales?

4. Are there camp sites I have missed?

5. Is there any presence in Wales of the B-P Scout Association or any
other traditional Scouting group?

6. Is there anything else you would like to see in the article. Gang
Shows? There are none in Wales mentioned in the Gang Show article on
wikipedia.

Please e-mail me or add to my draft or let me have information on my
wikipedia talk page or add it here.

Is there anyone from Northern Ireland who would care to answer any of
the above questions for NI?

If the Wales article can be put in place to replace the Welsh Area
articles, which are in a terrible state, I will move on to England and
probably start drafting the article on Scouting in Greater London. I
will need assistnace on that at that time.

I would really appreciate it if anyone can help here. There are far too
few UK Scouting editors on wikipedia.
i
Best wishes, Brian.
