Boy Scout Neckerchief Slide

Neat, I like the decals, it gives it class, & it’s personal. My son is in the vinyl sign business, I think he’d enjoy seeing this.

Thanks Dick. I think some day this will be a small treasure for my son to share with his son!

And David, take it from me, you will be a grandfather in the twinkling of an eye. Time does pass so very fast.

This is a very nice memento for your son, one I agree he will cherish. I do like the label idea and will read your blog on that.

That is a nice neckerchief slide. Mine in boyscout’s was simply their standard metal issue.

Very nice Dave – your son should treasure that for a long time. When I first saw it and did not read or expand the photo out – I though it might be a “hello stick for fish” – glad to see it was something that was worth while and again something that you will remember giving.
Thumbs up….

David, thanks for the ruler. When I saw it on your blog I thought it was a lot larger. Your son is a very lucky lad!

Very nice gift to a son, what was his reaction?

Matthew loved the slide. He is working on some carving himself.

ah! the old boy scout neckerchief slide – I made a few of them in my day, most carved with a pocket knife (which might have been for woodcarving merit badge)...but certainly nothing looking as nice as this…think I have all those merit badges listed on the back too….

That brings back memories. I used to make and trade neckerchief slides. Probably had 60 or more. Still have a few. Thanks for the post.

Thanks! I had a lot of fun with that little paddle. I kept it in my pocket and worked on it during idle time at camp. It brought back lot of memories. I used to make and trade neckerchief slides as well. They don’t seem to have the same focus as years ago!
