pchadbo Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I am an ACM soon to be our CC. I am not a den leader, I get to be "Dad" at the den meetings. I was wondering what necker it would be appropriate for me to wear (I really don't like the generic Cub Scout leader one). Any ideas or suggestions would be appropriate. Our leadership currently wears no neckers, I just like the look and want to inspire the boys to wear thiers. edited for typos(This message has been edited by pchadbo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle92 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Depends on what neckers you have. Last nite I wore my Finnish National one that I traded. In the past I've worn my OA lodge's necker, my previous lodge's Honor Neckerchief, my 100th anniversary, Eagle Scout Necker, British National I have, 1995 WSJ, etc etc. So if you earned something, and there is a necker for it, wear it. If you traded for it or was gifted a necker, wear it. If you went to an event or a camp and there was a necker for it, wear it. There are only two neckers I would give almost anything for: a Kingsdown International Campsite Service Crew necker and Youlbury International Campsite Service Team necker. They didn't have any in stock when I was over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle92 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Neckers can tell a variety of things, and which one to wear depends upon what you want to convey. A necker can tell you what unit you are with (usually Boy Scout troops,) what district you belong to, or even council. They can tell you what events you have been to, i.e. jamborees, camporees, scout shows, etc They can tell you what training you have, i.e. WB, BA22, or in one case teh old SM Fundamentals course. They can also tell you where you have been, i.e. camp neckers. As a leader you have a wide range of choices. If you can still find one, I'd recommend the anniversary one. it's the correct size, and looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troop22 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 We have decided that the Scouts wear neckers and the adult leaders wear boloo's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
