neckerchief
Scout uniform accessory
A neckerchief is a square of fabric folded and worn around the neck, tied in front or to the side.
It's associated with scouts, cowboys, and sailors—functional for wiping sweat or protecting the neck from sun.
Unlike a scarf, which is typically long and rectangular, a neckerchief is folded diagonally into a triangle before tying: She knotted her neckerchief loosely at the throat.
