What is one of the defining things about the look of a Scout? Their neckerchief \/ necker \/ scarf, call it what you will. It shows everyone what Troop \/ Group \/ Pack \/ District etc. we belong to. They can be a single colour or multiple colours, in fact there are many combinations available. The colour(s) of a necker can also signify how old a Group (etc) is. Generally speaking if a necker is a single colour, say scarlet, then that usually indicated that the wearer’s Group is one of the first in their area.<\/p>\n

The necker is also practical as well as it can be used, in an emergency, as a triangular bandage. Many Scouts have done their first aid training using their necker as a sling!<\/p>\n

We adorn them with badges of various meanings, Group badges for\u00a0 example and hold them in place by either tying a friendship knot or by using the other iconic item of scout equipment a woggle.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>So, what’s colour is yours?<\/p>\n
