A wayspot on a boy scout clubhouse was removed here today. I think it might’ve been confused for a school or something, but it’s definitely not one. Should I bother with making an appeal topic or are boy scout clubhouses also ineligible?
I think theyre treated more like schools than anything else ie ineligible

The phrasing in the new clarification is
I read that to mean that clubhouses that are primarily for boy scouts are ineligible.

Hmm, it’s not in a part of town I ever frequent anyway so I’ll leave it be then.

This happened to the Scouting USA headquarters in my city, where many events for the kids are held. I think the adults didn’t like all the cars coming in and out of their parking lot at all times of the day just to battle in the gym for PoGo that was there, and they requested removal, which they have the right to do.
And yes, any kind of scouting related location that mainly caters to children falls under the K-12 school criteria and should be rejected. I recently noticed a new LFL at the Girl Scouts location, but I won’t nominate it due to it catering to those under 18.

Correct me if i’m wrong, but that should also include most playgrounds, shouldn’t it?
No, because playgrounds are places where parents/friends still supervise the children themselves - they dont leave them with a professional as per a school or nursery

In most cases, playgrounds are publicly accessible and open to the public, whilst the intended audience is for kids. Scouts can be seen as private property aimed at kids. Schools generally have Time Manner Place restrictions where kids are permitted during school hours, but adults (except staff and contractors) are not normally allowed… unless they are picking up kids.
