A neckerchief is a piece of cloth, usually a scarf, worn on the neck in similar fashion to a necktie. In unfolded form, it consists of a piece of cloth in the shape of a right triangle, with the hypotenuse about three feet long. When a neckerchief is to be worn, the hypotenuse side is rolled in the direction of the right angle until most of the neckerchief is consumed in the roll, leaving only a small triangle free. It is then placed on the wearer's back so that the roll is under (or on top of) the shirt collar and the free triangle hangs down. The rolled ends then pass around the neck until they meet in front of it, where they are secured together, either with a knot, such as a square knot, or with a rubber band or other fastener (called a woggle or neckerchief slide) and allowed to hang.

Scouting with Neckerchief (2226 words)
To be sure, many of the lawless bandits that infested the plains in those perilous times used the neckerchief as a facial disguise, and it proved effective because most men looked alike as to their outer garments, with wide felt hats, flannel shirts and overalls or "chaps" of the plains rider.
Scout neckerchiefs should always be worn with a contrasting slide which in appearance resembles the Turk's head knot and serves as a reminder of the Scout's Daily Good Turn pledge.
It should be borne in mind, however, that the Official Neckerchief is slightly smaller in size than the regulation triangular bandage which is made by splitting a yard of square piece of cloth, crosswise.
