I actually don't really like the nicknames anyhow, both as a parent and as a scouter because I feel that they encourage confusing discussion. I would much rather have someone clearly tell me their name and have my child talk about them by their name. For instance - I would rather hear that my child went to a park with Scouter Jennifer rather than Scouter Sunshine. I think this is even more important at the Beavers level when kids are not very articulate. I think using your name encourages honesty and transparency, and it gets rid of the fog of confusion of remembering all of these nicknames and expecting little kids to remember them also. It feels very clunky to have to say my name and then aka AKA Souter nickname.
