Scout Movement	Redirect to Scouting
Scout (Scout Movement)	About the members, boys or girls aged 11-17 years, activities they do in Scouting, the Scout section, Troop/Patrol, Scout Law, Motto, Uniform. Not about history, not about the organization or movement.
Scout	Remains disambiguation page

Girl Guide, Girl Scout	Redirect to GG&GS (term used in a handful of countries with guiding organizations, including the United States)
Cub Scout, Brownie (Girl Guides)	About the groups for those in age ranges immediately below those in the flagship scouting age groups.
Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell	About the person Baden-Powell, and his personal history. Not about the Scout movement other than his input/influence. Lots of redirects here, btw.

No longer disambiguation pages due to all the confusion of different naming conventions. All other plurals redirect to the singular per Wikipedia standard, not to Scouting or a separate organization oriented article
