A white shirt was often worn with the Pioneer scarf (marama) and the Titovka, although this varied depending on which part of Yugoslavia the particular pioneer was from.

ki žele svobodo in mir,
da bom ljubil svojo domovino
samoupravno Socialistično Federativno Republiko Jugoslavijo,
njene bratske narode in narodnosti
in gradil novo življenje, polno sreče in radosti.

respect parents and my seniors,
and be a loyal and honest comrade/friend.
That I shall love our homeland, self-managed
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
That I shall spread brotherhood and unity
and the principles for which comrade Tito fought.
And that I shall value all peoples of the world who respect freedom and peace!
