Submit a Necker

Every necker tells a story — and we’d love to add yours to the archive! Submitting your group’s necker is quick, easy, and helps preserve the history and identity of Scouting and Guiding for everyone.

What You’ll Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • A photo of the necker (flat or worn)
  • Details about your group (name, location, and any history you can share)
  • Colours and pattern description (to help others identify it)

How to Submit

  1. Create a free GitHub account

    • Sign up for GitHub here — it only takes a couple of minutes.
    • GitHub is the platform we use to store and organise submissions.

  2. Fill out the submission form

    • Once you’re signed in to GitHub, head to our form: Submit a Necker
    • Complete the fields with as much detail as possible.

  3. Upload your necker photo

    • You can attach your image directly to the submission form.

  4. Send it in!

    • Click “Submit new issue” and your necker will be added to the review queue.
    • Once approved, it will appear on the archive.

Tip: The more detail and context you can provide, the more useful your submission will be for other leaders, collectors, and researchers.
