==Notes==
The gardener exam at the Pioneer Scout camp has a question that directly references Chaucer, asking: "You can use genetics to cross-breed certain plants and give them the traits that you want, even in your own garden! What friar famously showed how this is done by cross-breeding peas?", in which Chaucer is listed as an incorrect answer to the question.Pioneer Scout camp terminal entries; Gardener
