The Duchess of Cambridge has arrived at a Scout event sporting their official neckerchief today, during a royal visit aimed at encouraging young people to join.
Kate is visiting the Scouts' headquarters in Gilwell Park, Essex to back a new drive to get younger children involved in scouting.
The 37-year-old royal chatted to young Scouts and looked delighted as one boy showed her his badges.
Kate, who was a Brownie as a young girl along with sister Pippa, wore a mockneck sweater, black trousers and boots.
She completed the look with a jacket and red, white and blue scarf tied around her neck.
Later this morning the Duchess is due to plant an oak sapling at the campground to mark 100 years since the park opened.
Now boasting an adventure centre with kayaking and bouldering facilities, Gilwell Park was the site of the first Scout camp on July 26, 1919.
The initiative will bring four and five-year-olds into the scouting fold for the first time in its 112-year history.

In 2012 Kate began working as a volunteer for the Scout Association, joining activities privately with groups in North Wales and other areas.
At the time a royal spokesperson said: "The Scouts came about because of her love of the outdoors and because she wants to work with young people.
“She approached them and said she wanted to be involved. They take children from all backgrounds into the great outdoors. They came up with the idea she should be a volunteer.”
