- Well, the idea is in the air. Is anyone willing to pick it up? I'll be
- glad to add it to the current FAQ collection when it is done (either to
- "scouting around the world" or, if it grows too large, as a separate
- FAQ).
-
- My two cents:
-
- - I would suggest to set it up as a glossary. E.g. "Den Chief [BSA]:
- scout who is detached to assist the Cub Scout leaders in their program,
- building a bridge between cub scouting and regular scouting". (this is
- probably not the exact definition, but you get the idea).
-
- - What do we do with foreign language expressions, like KWBL
- (Korpswolfbienlileiter) or "Pflock"? Is it worth the trouble adding
- them to the list, given that no one will really remember them by
- the time one of the posters (me for example) uses them in a regular
- posting?
