Eagle92 110 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Stopped by the local distributor on the way home. had to pick up some red and white unit numbers and a new trained strip BUT I order my necker and a few other things while I was there. Also picked up the new catalog. Why did they have to use a dog to advertise the new necker? As for bulk discounts, I'ld talk to your local distriburot or scout shop. national scout shops can sometimes, stress SOMETIMES do it, with approval from national, but your local distributors can usually do it for ya.

trainerlady 10 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I got mine hot off the truck at the Scout Shop I work at. It's great except that with the ribbon trim it's very hard to roll and too thick when rolled to fit through the rubber slide that goes with it (sold separately of course). Anyone have any ideas on how to roll it so it fits the slide?. I don't want to ask 2-3 people to get it on every time I want to wear it. I'm not impressed with it being on a dog either.

Eagle92 110 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 The Centenary Necker for the 100th Anniversary of Scouting Worldwide also hd a ribbon border. I actually folded the necker, like the older BSHB recommend you do. IT WORKS. difficult, yes, but one person can do it. Also folding the Tiger necker will keep the slide on a hyperactive Tiger Now if only folding would work on my 18th WSJ Clog slide . NO ONE that I know of was able to get that sucker on both sides of a necker. Most people had one on each side, and either tied ii in a knot or used another slide.(This message has been edited by eagle92) Link to post Share on other sites
prairie 10 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Severl parents here use a safety pin through the necker just under and behind the slide so it's hidden from view. How did I go seven years and never lost a slide or necker? I eather stuck them in my pocket or in more orginized events left them in my hat which had my name in it. Link to post Share on other sites
seabear 10 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 THEY BROUGHT BACK THE OLD SIZE NECKERCHIEF!!!!!!!!! And they where square!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
eghiglie 10 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 My dad's necker was square and then it was folded over, then rolled up. When I was a scout my troop had a mom who made them to match the old ones in size and shape. Link to post Share on other sites
prairie 10 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Got mine... Even at almost 36 on a side it looks a little small on me, 19 inch neck will do that. I you look carefully at the catalog pic not only is the dog wearing one but so is one of the boys and it reaches his belt, mines four inches short of my belly button, wish the Webelos Den Leader necker was this size. The ribbon is grosgrain, prolly nylon and stitched to the top only not wrapped around like bias tape. It rolls up easy and is a heaver fabric than the std necker, all in all I would rate it up there with the carabiner cup for being cool usefull gear. Link to post Share on other sites

Narraticong 15 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 New neckerchief is really nice! I'm a "bigger fella" and usually stick to bolos because the neckers just don't fit well. I also like the ribbon edge. Overall pretty sharp. Also got one for First Class son and he has been wearing it regularly. I do agree with previous mention that the rubber slide does not work well. Not sure if it is due to size or the material of the slide. Just doesn't go on easily. But overall, this is a nice combination. Kudos to Supply Division on this one.

Stosh 3452 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 For those who lose their slides, think outside the box! Looking at old pics of BP, he has his slide vertical and not horizontal. Tuck each side into each side of the slide (i.e. top one side, bottom the other), pull both ends to slide it up and tie off ends with a square knot. I'll guarantee no scout will ever lose his slide with this method. Stosh Link to post Share on other sites
