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?
