Neckerchiefs

At the show, the two men — dressed like pizza chefs in matching toques, red neckerchiefs and aprons — took orders while employees frantically folded pizza-style cardboard boxes to hold the sold timepieces.

The stereotypical image of scouting, of “kids in neckerchiefs tying knots” as Zach Gonzales put it, is giving way to something with a more high-tech feel.

Neckerchiefs were chosen as they could easily be used as a sling or triangular bandage by a Scout in need.

Some common items of clothing are: bellpads; baldrics ; rosettes; sashes; waistcoats; tatter-coats; knee-length breeches; wooden clogs; straw hats, top hats, or bowlers; neckerchiefs; armbands.
