- I'm not entirely sure, but it somehow makes sense that it should be a proper noun. The Scout Handbook (not necessarily a reliable example) uses capital letters. -Smack, June 29, 2003
Were the ten essentials first established by the Boy Scouts? I heard it was The Mountaineers. --- hike395 04:16, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I don't think that my wording implies that the Scouts were the first to establish a set of ten essentials. Also, if the Mountaineers had them before, we can be reasonably sure that it was a different set, as sun protection didn't become an issue of interest until the latter 20th century. However, if you can find a more appropriate synonym for 'establish', more power to you. --Smack 20:44, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

Why is "(though now unofficial)" there concerning the ten essentials? I hadn't heard of the scout essentials--everyone I've heard around here (Western Oregon & Washington) calls it the ten essentials. Browse REI's website. There's no mention of "scout" there. —22:49, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
