The Gilwell Scarf

The neckerchief, known as the Gilwell Scarf, originally was grey (the colour of humility) on the outside and a warm red on the inside. Today the outside of the scarf is earthtone beige. On the peak of the scarf is a small patch of the MacLaren tartan, a reminder that Gilwell Park was bought and presented to the movement by Mr. MacLaren. The scarf signifies that the Scouter is a member of the 1st Gilwell Park Scout Group and is a "Gilwellian."
