Fear Naught. Words chosen for the brave men and women of the Royal Tank Regiment who put their lives on the line in service of their country. But, at Scotty’s Little Soldiers, we believe they apply to so much more than that. It’s for this reason we created Fear Naught: the clothing brand that supports bereaved British Forces children and young people.
Fear Naught describes you guys, our members and Springboarders doing your best to come to terms with the death of your parent. It describes our supporters taking on massive personal challenges for the sake of others and everyone we work with donating their sweat, money and time to help bereaved military children and young people as much as they can.
FEAR
Noun -- be afraid of.
NAUGHT
Noun (countable) -- nothing.
Similarly, the three colours of the Royal Tank Regiment are brown, red and green. Chosen for what they represent: mud, blood and a better future.
These colours were first associated with the regiment in 1917 when its commander, General Elles, bought three lengths of silk and had them sewn into a flag, which he flew from his tank during the Battle of Cambrai.
Six years later, in 1923, “Fear Naught” became the Royal Tank Regiment’s motto.
They are words Corporal Lee Scott, who Scotty’s Little Soldiers is named after, knew well.
Lee joined the army in 2002 and served in the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment from 2003 to 2009. He was killed in Afghanistan in July of that year. His wife, Nikki, saw the devastating impact his death had on their two young children and set up Scotty’s Little Soldiers in his honour, aiming to support others in the same situation.
It’s for these reasons that we created Fear Naught.
Fear Naught is Scotty’s Little Soldiers’ homegrown clothing and merchandise range. We offer a wide range of items and 100% of the proceeds go directly to Scotty’s.
Our clothes are designed to be comfortable, stylish and – most importantly - practical. Whether you’re breaking a sweat at the gym or taking a hard-earned break in your favourite chair, Fear Naught has you covered.
We offer a range of t-shirts, sweatshirts, vests, hoodies, caps and hats, as well as merchandise such as patches, mugs and even insulated water bottles. Male or female, day or night, hot or cold – there’s something for everyone.
At Scotty’s Little Soldiers, all that we do, we do for bereaved Forces children and young people. Fear Naught is no exception. Every penny we make from the clothing line helps cover our operational costs, allowing us to focus more energy, time and money on our members and Springboarders. Fear Naught helps us build a more sustainable charity so we can keep Scotty’s running and continue to help in every way we can.
