Amazing that I, a former scout, had completely forgotten about this awesome word. I think that's one of the best things about this web site: it brings back lost memories. Thanks!
A loop or ring of leather, cord, etc., through which the ends of a Scout's neckerchief are threaded. Usage: "You must decide yourself whether each new Beaver should be asked to pay for his scarf and woggle, or whether these should be provided by the Colony." (J. DEFT, _Beaver Leader's Handbook_ p. 32, 1983, cited in OED)
A wonderful picture book by Adrienne Adams called A Woggle of Witches shows a woggle to be a group of witches.
I must have a woggle somewhere still, proudly named as ever.
We used it in Cub Scouts, but changed terminology in Boy Scouts because we were supposed to be more mature. In Florida, by the way.
In America, we always called these neckerchief slides. I don't think I've ever heard woggle.
No, I had my woggle removed many years ago and haven't looked back since.
Awesome. Glad you like it. Do you still have a woggle?
Wait... that sounds like a personal question.
