No woggles please - we’re Harrods, scouts are told

Scouts were turned away from Harrods because they refused to remove their scarves and woggles.

Security first said the teenagers could not enter in groups. But when they agreed to go into the store in pairs, the doorman told them to take off the items of uniform, it is claimed.

Paul Kosinski, 31, leader of the group from Bordon, Hampshire, said: "I said we'd shop elsewhere. We're proud of our uniform."

A Harrods spokeswoman said: "We have no record of this incident but we certainly didn't want to cause distress to anyone.

"We have a group policy which is clear on our website and we always ask customers to look at it before visiting to avoid disappointment."
