Chucklenuts is a community-created cosmetic item for the Scout. It is a red (RED) or gray (BLU) squirrel that sits on the Scout's right shoulder; a team-colored neckerchief is tied around its neck, fastened with a golden woggle imprinted with the Team Fortress logo. The squirrel's head and tail sway with the player's movements.
When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.
Chucklenuts was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Update history
December 20, 2013 Patch (Smissmas 2013)
- Chucklenuts was added to the game.
- Changed item type to "Mascot".
July 7, 2016 Patch #1 (Meet Your Match Update)
- [Undocumented] Added Strange quality.
Trivia
- The item's name is a reference to two of the Scout's voice lines, "Think fast, chucklenuts!" when stunning an enemy, and "Ya like that, chucklenuts?" when getting a Revenge kill.
- The design of Chucklenuts's neckerchief is based on neckerchiefs worn by members of Scouting as part of their uniform.
- The scarf also serves as a nod to the Squirrel Scouts from The Emperor's New Groove.
- Despite the item's model being identical per team color, red and gray squirrels are actually different species, with the latter being typically larger and heavier, among other differences.
