1. WHAT IS SCOUT SCARF?

The scout’s scarf or neckerchief is part of the uniform. They are highly practical. For example, they can be used as a bandage or a sling by a Scout in need. Depending on the title, organization, and region, the neckerchiefs that are used can have different emblems and colors. A special knot is used to tie the scarf; these are known as the Friendship knots. The decorative knot comes from China and it has become highly popular among Scouts in recent times. It omits the use of a woggle.

History of World Scout Scarf Day!!This scout holiday was created through a collaboration of Scout groups worldwide since 2007. It encourages current and former scouts to wear their scarf in pride as a symbol of the Scout’s promise and the spirit of Scouting.

The Scout’s promise is about being in the spirit of upholding Scout law, which includes being loyal, trusted, helpful to others, and obeys orders.

This holiday is part of a collection of holidays inspired by the Scouting movement during the first half of the twentieth century, which all started when a lieutenant general of the British Army named Robert Baden-Powell wrote a book for boys about scouting, called “Scouting for Boys”

Once this book was published in 1907, many scouting groups started appearing all throughout Great Britain and eventually the rest of the world. Specifically, since the scout scarf is a symbol of the Scout’s Promise, and for those who have pride in their Scout membership, this day is one of the perfect days for people all over the world to show off their scarfs and be proud of their Scout history.

WHERE DID SCOUTING START?

Scouting was started in the United Kingdom. However, there are now more than 38 million Guide and Scout members across the world, with the movement spanning 216 countries. International organizations differ across the world, with various activities, traditions, and uniforms. However, they all hold the same core values.
