Materials: 3” square of fabric (can be a piece of a full-size bandana), pony bead, safety pin
- Fold the square in half, to form a triangle. Roll or fold from the long edge over several times, just like folding a scout neckerchief.
- Fold edges over to resemble a worn neckerchief.
- Slip bony bead through ends like a neckerchief slide (secure with glue, if desired).
- Add a safety pin to the top of the neckerchief.
This SWAPS can be a great tie-in for discussing uniforms and the neckerchief near the beginning of the year, or cross over ceremonies when scouts are getting their new neckerchief for their new rank year.
Additionally, there can be Adventures related to team building or the rank color that can also apply to crafting this SWAPS!
Recommended Adventure Tie-In:
