Still waiting too! =(
Robin-scarves- Seems all the women are for sure wearing a scarf. Either just yellow, or with division color ribbon attached. A few are having thier whole group wear them to PIR. It is up to you entirely. Just so the N4M members have one.
Ribbon discussion is posted on this thread as well a few pages back with an example.

Also, on the scarf thread.....are they just for the mom's/wives? How about the ribbons? Would the rest of the family also wear those? Or just the mom's/wives?
How does one order the ribbons and how much?

Arwen- thank you for the information. My SR is the RCPO of Div 67. She wrote just what you said. She said, as long as she can keep her position, she will be E-3 at PIR. Keep your fingers crossed. From what she writes so far, All is well, everyone is learning from mistakes. So the RDCs are doing thier jobs.
Robin- Nice done on the scarf! We are gonna look great at the PIR!
