OldGreyEagle Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 If you think explaining Cracker Barrel to Oz was fun, just imagine what I went through to explain what a "campfire" was to Outdoor Thinker and her sister Girl Scouts. I mean, they all knew Boy Scouts had a fire in camp, but the term Campfire eluded them until Outdoor Thinker participated in the opening Campfire of Summer Camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutdoorThinker Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Yes, yes, both the terms Crackel Barrel and Campfire (in a Boy Scout sense) were new to us (not to mention the skills learned to build a Campfire's campfire). There has been the need for lots of translating for me in Boy Scouting. Thanks OGE for being my Boy Scout to Outdoorthinker Dictionary. Other "foreign" words for the word bank included 'totem,' 'blue cards,''outpost,' and 'scoutcraft'(note: I learned what Scoutcraft meant AFTER I got my job as the Scoutcraft Director)and knot's names.
