The Sea Scout necker is worn in a different way to most Scouts you’ll have seen before. This guide should help a Scout fold neckerchief each week. We do encourage Scouts to iron and fold their own neckerchiefs.
Step 1 – Lay out the neckerchief in front of you – making sure the back of the badge is facing you
Step 2 – Fold the long edge so it runs half way down the back of the badge and iron flat
Step 3 – Fold the top edge down so it lines up with the long edge. Iron flat.
Step 4 – Repeat the same fold again so it lines up with the long edge, you’ll notice a zig zag of yellow on either side, now iron flat.
Step 5 – If you now turn over the neckerchief, it should look like this!
How to Tie your Sea Scout necker using the Discovery knot
We haven’t yet captured a video on how to tie the neckerchief, however we’ll show you how its done on a Friday evening, and before long, you’ll be an expert!
Scouting is a diverse and inclusive movement where all children have access everything we have on offer. If the cost of uniform prevents your child from joining us please speak to us on a Monday evening before or after Cubs. We’ll find somewhere out of the way and talk you through our support options. Alternatively you can email us.
