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!
The date of the event commemorates the very first Scout Camp on Brownsea Island in 1907.
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.
