I recently felt the urge to find my Eagle Scout neckerchief…and when I did I also found my dad’s and my brother’s. There are all sorts of Eagle Scout neckerchiefs out there ranging from BSA National-issue to homemade. The three neckerchiefs shown below are in between — modifications of standard Troop neckerchiefs. In each case ribbon has been added to the edge of the neckerchief to add a red, white and blue/Eagle Scout effect. On the latter two, the words “Eagle Scout” and the year the award was earned is embroidered above the troop logo. I like the understated look of the neckerchiefs. In chronological order:
Jack Lewis, 1962, Troop 299, Asbury Methodist Church, Prairie Village Kansas
Eric Lewis, 1988, Troop 86, First United Methodist Church, Olathe, Kansas
Kory Lewis, 1992, Troop 86,First United Methodist Church, Olathe, Kansas
What does your troop use to honor Eagle Scouts? If you have an Eagle Scout neckerchief from the Kansas City area that you would like to share, send me a picture and any pertinent information (year earned, troop location, Scout’s name) and I’ll post it.
