How to Tie Boy Scout Bolo Ties
Boy Scouts of America is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2010 with more than 2.8 million members in the United States. All scouts are required to wear uniforms. Two options are available for Boy Scouts when it comes to the neck ties. One is a neckerchief slide. The second, which is a more dressier option, is a bolo cord with tie. The bolo tie is generally worn for special banquets or ceremonies. The cords come in different colors, and the slides are available in a variety of colors and shapes. Customization options for the slides are also available.
