Dharmaraja Scouts create history
The 1st Kandy Dharmaraja Scout Group marked the Centenary of
Scouting, with a setting-up of a Guinness World Record by creating the
world's largest neckerchief, measuring 53.7m x 37.1 m (176 ft 2.4 inches
x 125 ft 8.4 inches x 121 ft 8.4 inches) and the world's largest woggle,
measuring 1.03m (3 ft 4.55 inches) in diameter and 1m (3 ft 3.37 inches)
in height. This record was measured at the Dharmaraja College, Kandy in
February 2014 by the official record adjudicators authorized to verify
the authenticity of the setting and breaking of records employed by the
Organisation of Guinness World Records.
In addition to the World Record, 1st Kandy Scouts were awarded the
Sri Lanka's 'Best Scout Group Award', consecutively won by them for
three years from 2009 to 2011, at the Annual Awards Ceremony organised
by the Sri Lanka Scout Association, recently at the Royal College,
Colombo.
