just want to know where do i get the scarf , do i just buy a purple on (thats my sons div color) or do we oder them ?

theresa..- some are buying a yellow one, some are making them from fleece fabric ( no sew, easy project). If you want to make one. Use a scarf you already have as a pattern or look it up on line. Lots of directions on no-sew scarfs  out there. Just a thought.

Yes! by all means wear a yellow scarf, and be sure to let your SR know what we are all up to! The more scarves the better at the PIR. I am sure everyone here would agree on that!! Welcome.

So what is the final choice, yellow with our division color in it, or blue with our division in it?  Does it matter if vertical or horizontal.  Those in 072 division color is white, here is a yellow & white scarf at LL Bean for $9.99

http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/67701?from=SR&feat=sr  (even has a sailor's wheel)  I read that you can customize the scarf to any color(s) and can have the Navy anchor instead.....
