Current revision
The use of standard terminology applies across BSA programs when there exists parallel organization structures, activities and methods. In essence, separate programs use different names to mean the same thing. When appearing in handbooks and other communications, standard terms often may be substituted for the distinctive title used by each different program. For example, issued guidelines for a Roundtable meeting can be applied to a Varsity Huddle or a Venturing Forum or a Sea Scout Wardroom.

Relevance to BSA programs
Standard terms are particularly relevant between Boy Scouting and Varsity Scouting, and between Venturing and Sea Scouting:

| — Sea Scout Manual, pg. 7, #33239C © 2002, 2004 Printing |

| — Varsity Scout Guidebook, pg. 19, #34827A © 2000 Edition |
In some cases of standard terminology, methods may be parallel but the aims have differences between programs -- for example the team system method used in Boy Scouting differs in aims compared to Venturing. In other cases standard terminology parallels do not apply to all four programs -- for example assistant patrol leaders have no equivalencies in Varsity Scouting and Venturing.
