Scout uniform accessories
Neckerchiefs is the plural of neckerchief—a square of cloth worn around the neck, folded diagonally and tied or knotted at the front.
Neckerchiefs are associated with scouts, cowboys, and sailors: The troop wore matching red neckerchiefs.
The word combines neck with kerchief, itself meaning a cloth for the head.
