The problem I see in using a Mediawiki for Scouting is that your information will be hard to organize into usable data, and it will likely not be objective. In my experience as a scouting leader, you don't need a lot of people's information, you need a group's highly consistent information.

On Cyber Blue, we have developed an excel-based scouting system that pulls information from the scouting excel sheets (information is filled in and saved on Pocket PCs or laptops), and then the saved raw data sheets are "stolen" via Bluetooth.

I like the idea of compiling from several sources, but it doesn't seem like Mediawiki will let you be able to use the data well. There will likely be too much to filter through.
