Hudo (Scouting)
A hudo is an outdoor pit toilet in a camp, with a tarpaulin for coverage. The name is in common use in Dutch and Belgian Scouting, and has international connotation.
==Etymology==
The word ''hudo'' is derived from the Urdu word ''howdah'', which is the covered carriage on elephants in India. The word is attributed to Robert Baden-Powell, who introduced it into Scouting jargon, together with other non-English word such as ''jamboree'' (Swahili) and ''oubaas'' (Afrikaans).
Other wider known etymological explanations include the acronym of ''houd uw darmen open'' (Dutch for 'keep your bowels open') which has it analogy in kybo (English), and the contraction of ''hurkdoos'' (Dutch for 'squat loo'). The value of these explanations is questioned.〔
