Polo Shirts - £12

Style as in picture but silver-grey in colour. This is more practical than the usual boring green or blue as it is very distinctive without being loud, does not show dirt as much as white, yet is suitable wear in the desert or jungle heat as well as more northern climes.

The shirts have a 55mm high BSO badge adapted as shown on the left breast, big enough to read but small enough to be discreet and look classy.

The design between the words is billowed like a ships sail to show travel abroad. On the right sleeve are the letters BSO, 20mm high.

This is an activity shirt and does not replace uniform shirts. It is for informal use, socialising and activities, so does not have badges. However if desired, it can be localised by adding the host country badge only, close above the BSO on the sleeve. (District staff without Groups appointments can wear the District badge). You will find the BSO is 40mm wide; the exact width of an authorised single badge.

Area Scarf/Neckerchief - £6

Adult Size

In the three colours of UK, different to the international scarf. Ours has red as the base colour the international scarf is blue base. This gives bigger red stripes as shown on the sketch. Material is softer so it rolls neater. It should be rolled so just the design shows which gives a total apex height including stripes of around 140mm which is just over a palms width.

BSO Woggle - £2

This is a press stud woggle, embroidered with the Union flag and complements the scarf colours closer than shown in the diagram. The press stud allows the woggle to be placed directly around the throat without sliding it up and so does not ruckle up all the stripes as you slide it up.

Washabilty. Do not machine nor hand wash, nor rub as it will go furry! Just leave in a cup of ‘Vanish’ or similar digestant in warm water which will remove any dirt or grease. Check before leaving to ensure colourfastness. If it is not, use a different type of digestant.
