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 usage.

Etymology

The word hudo is derived from the Urdu word howdah, which is the covered carriage on elephants in India.^[1] The word is attributed to Robert Baden-Powell, who introduced it into Scouting jargon, together with other non-English words such as jamboree (Swahili) and oubaas (Afrikaans).^{[citation needed]}

Other popular etymological explanations include the acronym of houd uw darmen open (Dutch for "keep your bowels open") which has an analogy in kybo (English), and the contraction of hurkdoos (Dutch for "squat loo"). The validity of these explanations is questioned.^[1]
