Cub Scout Webelos Neckerchief Slide

All of the proceeds from the sale of my scouting items go to support the activities of local scouting.

I am a cub scout den leader and we've had a lot of parent frustration with the default slides as they never seem to stay on or are hard to get off once you press down the tabs. As tigers, our den lost over a dozen slides. I designed the wolf slide for my den to start off the year better. They turned out to be a huge hit in our den and pack, so I made them available here. My den tested the slide design through live use for a year and we didn't have any lost or broken. I've since made slides for the same group of scouts for their bear year last year and now their Webelos year this year. Based on requests, I also went back and designed Lion and Tiger slides.

All of the slides use the same tried and tested slide portion with a different facing and color scheme. I designed the slide mechanism and the design of each slide and I have a commercial license for the bear, wolf, tiger and lion heads. These are all handmade by me (SteelWolf Creations) in the USA.

The slot that's used to hold the neckerchief has been carefully designed to both stay on when you need, but also be removable when you want. The slide is made of multiple parts that are primed, airbrushed, then detailed by hand and finally clear coated and assembled. All of the components are made from 3D-Printed PLA plastic.

I am a cub scout den leader for my son, and my wife is a girl scout troop leader for our daughter. We've been involved in both programs since our kids were kindergarteners and strongly support the programs. I was a cub scout all the way up to earning Eagle as a kid myself, and I see participation as an an adult as an opportunity to pay it forward to the new generation.
