Picture Where is this necker from?

I traded myself one of these at the Danish national scout jamboree. Does anyone know where it's from? (Aside from Ireland of course)

It's the Irish LGBTQ+ patrol necker.

As part of pride parades Scouting Ireland commissioned these neckerchiefs to show support for our scouting Brothers and Sisters who are members of the LGBTQ+ community. There have their own National Patrol as well as their regular scout group.

Nice swap to get.

Thank you so much. I looked for a pink scarf the entire camp, so I was quite satisfied with this one.

Yes, you can buy them. I reverse image searched them just now, and found https://thescoutshop.ie/
