LeCastor 641 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 So...when did Scoutmasters and other adult volunteers were green neckties instead of neckerchiefs? Link to post Share on other sites

TAHAWK 1420 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The (apparently) official answer regarding this still-official uniform item is here: http://www.scoutinsignia.com/ties.htm When? "the 1950's" Link to post Share on other sites
jr56 92 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I had one when I first became an ASM back in the mid 70's Link to post Share on other sites
LeCastor 641 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thanks, TAHAWK. I think it looks nice. Link to post Share on other sites
skeptic 1036 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I wore them on occasion in the seventies; also had one as an explorer in the early sixties. Have half a dozen various ties in my collection. Besides green, there was blue and brown, as well as the newer versions with designs, such as Eagles. The earlier ones are all narrow.

scoutldr 739 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 The green ties were for BS leaders. Blue was for CS leaders and brown was for Explorers. For field and casual occasions, the neckerchief was always appropriate. When I became a Cubmaster in the mid-80's they had come out with a blue necker which had "Cub Scout Leader" embroidered on the back. I still have my brown clip-on from my Exploring days of the early 70s. Link to post Share on other sites
