Bins, Boxes, Containers?
Ok...

Now, not that this really matters, but what should we call the 'containers'?

I know that in the manuals they call them containers. However, since we are so used to saying 'balls' should the name have a 'b' like bin or box. I'm sorry, but i just don't think i can rattle off my toung 'container' like i can box or bin.

SO... vote! Whatever term is the most popular, is the one that i will be using in all the scouting stuff that i will be creating for the first community.

Jack

PS: You know, we don't have to say container just becasue that is what is in the book.

PPS: Do YOU call them something else?

Tubs!
Tubs or Totes.

I happen to have 4 of these in the garage (and another 4 coming from Walmart- on sale now for $3.44!!). We have always called them storage tubs.

I would guess there will be quite a number of FIRST families buying coordingated storage containers this coming week...

I say box, if only because it uses the letter X. (It's such an underappreciated letter...)

We asked the same question earlier today... the common concensus is to call it a "Tub" or a "Bin". Box or container just doesn't work for us. If you notice FIRST uses "containers" in all their documents.

I'll call them bins.

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.

I think "bin" is the easiest to say. Container is just too long.

I noticed that by the end of the night, many on our team were calling them balls. To many years of balls....

Otherwise, box has been the most used.

Go box! If you use bin, it could be confused with 'pin' or could seem to be short for 'binary.' I guess box could be confused for 'bots'...but ehh.. Bin, in my opinion, is like a barrel without a top. Then again, that's coming from my mind...so who knows
