The idea of “Scout Scarf Day” on August 1 is that all active and former scouts are requested to wear their scout scarfs in public to make the “spirit of scouting” visible: once a scout – always a scout!

In 2011 the day coincided with the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden which was a perfect opportunity to show the close bond to all the scouts attending. And of course this year it also coincides with the World Scout Jamboree in Japan.

So to raise even more awareness of where you can find Scouts just be proud and wear your scarf in public on August 1st.

Of course, the scarf is only a symbol but a strong symbol for the scout promise and for our mission to leave the world as a bit better a place than we had found it.
