CCI -> Camping

Our oldest did a one year trip through Europe studying forests. We bought her a Volkswagen Caddy Maxy Tramper 2.0TDi 4motion - name bigger than the mini van. She still uses the car when working mid in forests for some days. On the trip she had a Camping Card International (CCI).

Time goes by, now she has three kids.

scuba -> Rettungsschwimmabzeichen

German rescue swimming badge. Everyone in family has it. The twins in bronze (need 14 years old), our third in silver (need 16 years old), the rest has gold. I have also a rescue diver certification with a special in drift diving.

Many small ponds, artificial lakes and small rivelets. But at heavy rain the rivelets may turn into monsters.

But before jumping into water: Most used by me is a Rettungsball / rescue-ball: 7 times (2 undercurrent, 3 drifting in a flood rivelt, 2 breaking into ice).  Mine is like a basketball in a net attached to a long rope and always in car. As a former goalie I can throw or kick it up to 30 metres with enough accuracy.  But this is the normal distance for it:

 Rettungsschwimmabzeichen -> Eagle Scout rank

Quote

 

What is the hardest badge to get in Scout?

It's a tough award to earn, with only 4% of all Boy Scouts reaching Eagle Scout rank. Potentially even more demanding than the Eagle Scout award, and certainly rarer, is the Hornaday award.

Eagle Scout rank -> Landjugend / 4-H

I was only a cub the one year I was at scouts. We moved a lot and villages nearly never had scouts. In a small village people know each other and help each other. Don't need to be a scout. Kids often join youth volunteer firefighters or the Landjugend, comparable to the USA 4-H.

Burger King -> Ungebildetheit / the state of being uneducated

Wienerwald was one of the biggest chains of fastfood restaurants, well until they did restaurants in america. People there knew only Wiener as sausages but Wienerwald was selling fried chicken. Very tasty chicken as I remember from my youth. But it seemed nobody went into the restaurants in america so the company went into bankrupty.

Lampedusa -> Seelenverkäufer / Seller of Souls

Lampedusa is an island in the mediterran now known because it is overrun by migrants  They arrive there by rotten ships which areN't seaworthy at all. Ships which aren't seaworthy but on sea are called seller of souks in German. In former times these ships had high insurances and were sinking to get them. Now the ships are written up and used by people who earn a lot of money from migrants to bring them to Europe,
