Home of the Boy Scout neckerchief slide.

Welcome to Woggle World, home of the Scout neckerchief slide. I remember crafting homemade neckerchief slides when I was young and showing them off at Cub and Boy Scout meetings. Now that I'm a leader, I wanted to share this fun experience with my sons and their fellow Scouts.
To my disappointment, the fine art of creating neckerchief slides (woggles) has been all but forgotten. Boy's Life discontinued their "Slide of the Month" feature years ago, I wasn't able to find any books on the subject in our local libraries, and I've located only a few other sites on the internet that deal with the subject. It was out of my frustration that this page was created. This site is a work in progress. I need your help. Send me your pictures, drawings, sketches, and ideas. The more info and pictures I can gather, the more fun we'll all have creating those wonderful neckerchief slides with our kids. |
