The Qrendi Scout Group Scarf
Since the foundation in 1934 of the former Qrendi Scout Group, it was
the group’s wish to have their village coat of arms incorporated
in their scarf’s design. It was therefore unanimously agreed that
the scarf colours should be red and white superimposed by a five-pointed
star.
It seems that the fashioning out of a five-pointed star imposed a problem
on the available resources and it was thus decided that a six pointed
version be used instead due to its symmetry.
However the reason for the change in colour from Silver Grey to Navy
Blue is somewhat uncertain. The scarf was officially registered as the
Qrendi Scout Group colours with the Scout Association until the group
was rendered inactive in 1964

When in 1994 the Qrendi Scout Group reapplied for affiliation within
the Scout Association, the same line of thought as the former group
was adopted. With the formation of the Local Councils in Malta the Qrendi
Local Council coat of arms was established as a blue shield with a superimposed
five pointed Silver Star.
The new Qrendi Scarf was therefore officially registered in November
1994. The newer version of the Qrendi Scouts Scarf served as the official
Group’s colours from the Group’s official inauguration on
the 23rd May 1995 to the year 2000. The words “Qrendi” were
added below the Silver Star within the blue shield.

| When the dispute between the Qrendi Local Council and
the Local Council Association over the correct version of the village’s
coat of arms was resolved and the community was again assigned with a
different and modified coat of arms, the Qrendi scouts, with the change
of the millennium, followed suit.
The latest and modified Qrendi Scarf was to have the different version
of the village coat of arms consisting of a Sky Blue shield bordered in
Gold superimposed by a Silver Star five-pointed star. The red and white
scarf colours were retained.
