woggle
A woggle is a device to fasten the neckerchief, or scarf, worn as part of the Scout or Girl Guides uniform, originated by a Tasmanian Scout in the 1920s.
==Origins of the woggle==
Early Scouts tied a knot in their neckerchief (scarf) to fasten it around the neck. In the United States, experiments were made with rings made from bone, rope or wood.〔http://wayback.archive.org/web/20131019045255/http://www.scoutbase.org.uk/library/hqdocs/facts/pdfs/fs145003.pdf UK ScoutBase article on the woggle.

A young Australian Scout, Bill Shankley, who was responsible for running a workshop and developing ideas for camping equipment at Gilwell Park, became aware of the American rings, and set out to create something similar. The result was the Gilwell Woggle.
On the origin of the Woggle, Shankley said:
They used to knot their scarves, which used to get creased and stick out at the ends. But in America the early scouts used to plait up various stuffs to make a ring for theirs — they called it a boon-doggle. I got some thin sewing machine leather belting, plaited it into a neat ring, submitted it, and had it accepted. I called it a ''Woggle'' and that’s the name it’s known by throughout the world〔Jeffrey, Ray, ''The History of Scouting in Tasmania 1909 - 1985'', page 81.
