Identifying Boy Scout 12 Region Neckerchiefs
We recently offered up for auction many items from the original twelve Boy Scouts of America regions. Included in the offerings were several neckerchiefs that do not say any region name on them. We received a number of questions about them so thought we ought to share some of the reference material we use for these items.
The neckerchiefs in question are from the 1920s. That is, they are 100 years old or soon will be. They were worn by professional Scouter to regional and national training conferences.
The original 12 regions were formed in 1921. They went out of existence in 1973. Our key reference work, THE reference work, on the original 12 regions is Paul Myers book. Paul wrote and published this book in 1985.
