ScouterPaul 11 Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 I'm curious what are the Troop Policies concerning Neckerchiefs being worn over or under the collar? Link to post Share on other sites
eagle90 125 Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 We tell our scouts to turn their collar under when they wear the neckerchief. Link to post Share on other sites
Bob White 20 Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 We leave it to the decision of the Patrol Leaders Council. Bob Link to post Share on other sites
BlueRidgeMountains 10 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 We(PLC)decided that neckerchiefs stay cleaner when worn under the collar. BSA says either way is "official" Link to post Share on other sites
BlueRidgeMountains 10 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Did I say under???? I meant over. SOrry. Link to post Share on other sites
Bob White 20 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 So BlueridgeMountains do you mean the boys chose to roll the collar to the inside of the shirt? I am surprised. Our PLCs almost always choose under the collar. Usually it's us old timers who are used to rolling the collar in.

k9gold-scout 10 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 In the 60's they had uniform shirts whitout collors. These were very popular at summer camp. Link to post Share on other sites
lasteagle83 10 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Collarless shirts were available up until the early 80's when the "new" (current) uniform came into being. I never liked the collarless shirt myself - it looked "naked" without a neckerchief. Link to post Share on other sites
yaworski 10 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 for my part, I like the neckerchief over the collar but I'm in the minority. I think that it looks nicer because the neckerchief doesn't bunch up as badly. Also, it allows the neckerchief to do one of its original jobs, to absorb sweat. Link to post Share on other sites
Wallace 10 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Recently, I have come across a few references to the old, collarless shirts being worn without neckerchiefs. In our area, they were NEVER worn without neckerchiefs. I have a vivid memory of attending an international scouting event and noticing that all the other nation's scouts had collars on their shirts and wore the neckerchiefs under the collar. We thought that was pretty cool and felt like the "odd cousin". Link to post Share on other sites
