 For Scouters, the Group Commissioner or a senior Section Scouter will provide the necker and all required insignia, and perform the investiture. When Scouters are invested, they receive Group-specific crests (Fraser Valley Council and 12th New Westminster Group), a Group necker, Respect in Sport Badge, and a Section-specific role insignia for the Section(s) in which they are active Scouters.  They will receive a leather Woodbadge woggle from the Group Commissioner when their Woodbadge for the Canadian Path training is complete.  Often the child of the Scouter assists with the investiture by putting the necker on their parent.
