What's in a Name?
The Meaning Behind "Chuck-A-Rama"
The name "Chuck-A-Rama" was created by the founder, Don Moss. It's a mix of two words. One part comes from "chuckwagon," which was a wagon that carried food and cooking supplies on the American frontier. The other part comes from "Scout-O-Rama," which is a big event for Boy Scouts. So, the name suggests a place with lots of food, like a chuckwagon, and a big, exciting event, like a "rama."
