Neckerchief Retailers
Stores selling neckerchiefs and Scout scarves
A neckerchief, sometimes called a necker, kerchief or scarf, is neckwear associated with those working or living outdoors, farm labourers, cowboys and sailors, and most commonly seen today in the Scouts. It is a triangular piece of cloth, or a rectangle folded into a triangle, its long edge rolled toward the point leaving a portion unrolled, fastened around the neck with the ends tied or clasped with a slide or woggle. The retailers listed here are the custom and Scout trade. Camp Edwards uses colored neckerchiefs as camp honors, worn to dinner and treated with respect. Chief Neckerchief of Midland Park, New Jersey, has made neckerchiefs with unmatched quality workmanship for over 45 years, made to establish a group's unique identity. Moritz Embroidery Works guides customers through creating a custom BSA-approved neckerchief from beginning to end, noting Baden-Powell's own description of the neckerchief folded with the point at the back. Stadri Emblems offers direct embroidered neckerchiefs in 75 fabric and piping colors at 30 by 30 by 42 inches, and the Scout Shop is the BSA's official retailer. Readers may also want the scarf retailers and the shawl, stole, pageant sash and evening wrap pages.

A neckerchief, sometimes called a necker, kerchief or scarf, is a type of neckwear associated with those working or living outdoors, including farm labourers, cowboys and sailors. It is most commonly still seen today in the Scouts. A neckerchief consists of a triangular piece of cloth or a rectangular piece folded into a triangle. The long edge is rolled towards the point, leaving a portion unrolled. The neckerchief is then fastened around the neck with the ends either tied or clasped with a slide or woggle.
Camp
Edwards: Every person at camp displays their current colored
neckerchief or the color they think they need to work in bettering.
Neckerchiefs do not represent a superiority, but rather a reminder to the
camper of their successes, and are to be treated with respect and worn to
dinner every night.
Chief Neckerchief
(Midland Park, NJ): For over 45 years, our neckerchiefs are made with a
quality workmanship that has not been matched. Let us create a neckerchief
to establish your unique identity.
Moritz Embroidery Works: The neckerchief has been a symbol of the
Scouting movement around the world for generations. Baden-Powell, the
founder of Scouting, said that “the scarf or neckerchief is folded into a
triangle with the point at the back of the neck. If you're looking for a
great custom neckerchief, and are unsure of where to start, Moritz
Embroidery Works will guide you through the process of creating a custom
BSA®-approved neckerchief from beginning to end.

The Neckerchief in Scouting
Baden-Powell built the neckerchief into Scout uniform at the movement's founding, practical as a bandage, sling, towel and signaling cloth and symbolic as the movement's most recognizable garment. Troops distinguish themselves by color and slide, camps award special neckerchiefs, and the Gilwell woggle marks Wood Badge training. That institutional demand is why a specialist custom trade exists at all: most neckerchiefs are not bought one at a time from a rack but made for a unit, a camp or an event, which is the business of every retailer listed here.
Outside Scouting, the neckerchief survives in western wear, in naval and work traditions, and in fashion revivals that borrow its triangle-and-slide form. The scarf pages cover the fashion side; this page is the uniform and custom side.
Common Questions
How is a neckerchief worn?
The cloth, triangular or folded into a triangle, has its long edge rolled toward the point, leaving part of the point unrolled. It goes around the neck with the point at the back, Baden-Powell's own description of Scout dress, and the front ends are tied in a knot or clasped with a slide, also called a woggle. In Scouting the slide often carries the group's or an award's emblem. Camp wear, as at Camp Edwards listed here, adds local rules: colors mark achievement or role, and the neckerchief is worn at set times such as dinner.
What is the difference between a neckerchief and a scarf?
Cut, tradition and fastening. A neckerchief is triangular, rolled and fastened with a slide or a knot, and belongs to uniforms and outdoor dress, Scouts, cowboys, sailors and farm workers. A scarf is usually a long rectangle, draped, wrapped or knotted loosely, and belongs to general fashion and cold weather. The same cloth can serve both, which is why the listings note a neckerchief is sometimes simply called a scarf, but a custom embroidered Scout neckerchief and a fashion scarf are different products sold by different retailers.
How are custom neckerchiefs ordered?
By group, to a design. Makers like Chief Neckerchief and Moritz Embroidery Works work from the group's colors, emblem and embroidery, with approved designs where an organization requires them, BSA-approved in the Scout case. Stadri Emblems publishes its working range openly: direct embroidery, 75 fabric and piping colors, a standard 30 by 30 by 42 inch size. Minimum quantities, artwork approval and production time are the practical questions, and a database or saved design makes re-orders match earlier runs.
