World Scout Scarf Day
August 1, 2025-August 1, 2025 -
Global, Global
This scoutful holiday was created through a collaboration of Scout groups worldwide since 2007. It encourages current and former scouts to wear their scarves in pride as a symbol of the Scout’s promise and the spirit of Scouting.
The Scout’s promise is about being in the spirit of upholding Scout law, which includes being loyal, trusted, helpful to others, and obeys orders. The date of the event commemorates the first scout group to be ever created, which was located on Brownsea Island in 1907.
This holiday is part of a collection of holidays inspired by the Scouting movement during the first half of the twentieth century, which all started when a lieutenant general of the British Army named Robert Baden-Powell wrote a book for boys about scouting, called Scouting for Boys.
Once this book was published in 1907, many scouting groups started appearing all throughout Great Britain and eventually the rest of the world.
Specifically, since the scout scarf is a symbol of the Scout’s Promise, and for those who have pride in their Scout membership, this day is one of the perfect days for people all over the world to show off their scarfs and be proud of their Scout history.
On social media, there are competitions and videos from local scouting groups that show off these scarfs in the celebration to see who has the most pride.
