The BSA makes use of '''standard terminology''' for parallel organizational structures, activities and methods. Essentially, separate programs use different names to mean the same thing.

Standard terminology

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 proper term used by different programs. For example, issued guidelines for a Roundtable meeting can be applied to a Varsity Huddle, a Venturing Forum or a Sea Scout Wardroom.

Standard terms are particularly relevant between Boy Scouting and Varsity Scouting, and between Venturing, and Sea Scouting:

“ Standard Venturing terminology is used universally by the Boy Scouts of America for both Venturing crews and Sea Scout ships. This is necessary in publications and training manuals that encompass all of Venturing....All Venturing crews (including Sea Scout ships) have the option of using distinctive titles related to their specialized program. ”
— Sea Scout Manual, pg. 7, #33239C © 2002, 2004 Printing

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 parallels do not apply to all four programs, for example assistant patrol leaders have no equivalencies in Varsity Scouting and Venturing.
