from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
An outer garment consisting of two strips of cloth joined across the shoulders, worn by members of certain religious orders. Originating as the working frock of Benedictines, it was adopted by other religious communities and is now considered a distinctive part of the monastic habit. It symbolizes the yoke of Christ. A scapular is worn under one's secular clothes, in abbreviated form by tertiaries associated with the religious orders. Tertiary scapulars vary in size and shape their color corresponds to that of the monastic family. As a further development, the church has approved some eighteen blessed scapulars as two small pieces of cloth joined by strings and worn around the neck and under the clothes. Best known are the five scapulars of: Our Lady of Mount Carmel (brown), the Passion (red), Seven Dolors (black), Immaculate Conception (blue), and the Holy Trinity (white). (Etym. Latin scapulare, scapularium, "shoulder cloak," from Latin scapula, shoulder.)

Can one wear multiple scapulars?
Of course one can. Of course, just wearing a Scapular doesn't usually effect anything unless one believes and is living the life that is attached to the scapular. For instance, I wear a black scapular of the Benedictine Order as I am an Benedictine Oblate, and thus must fulfill all the requirements of being an Oblate.

Scapulars are the long apron like piece of fabric that hang from the shoulders to the ground front and back on religious habits.

Carmel (this is the most famous one), the Blue Scapular of the Immaculate Conception, the Black Scapular of the Seven Dolors of Mary, the Red Scapular of the Passion, and the White Scapular of the Most Holy Trinity.

The most recent Rite for the Blessing of and Enrollment in the Scapular, approved in 1996 by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, is available in booklet form, the "Catechesis and Ritual for the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel", published in 2000 and distributed by ICS Publications. The rite can also be found on the website of the Carmelite Order.The short form of the investiture is as follows: Receive this Scapular, a sign of your special relationship with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, whom you pledge to imitate. May it be a reminder to you of your dignity as a Christian, in serving others and imitating Mary.Wear it as a sign of her protection and of belonging to the Family of Carmel, voluntarily doing the will of God and devoting yourself to building a world true to his plan of community, justice and peace.According to a 1996 doctrinal statement approved by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, "Devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel is bound to the history and spiritual values of the Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel and is expressed through the scapular. Thus, whoever receives the scapular becomes a member of the order and pledges him/herself to live according to its spirituality in accordance with the characteristics of his/her state in life."Hope this helps you out.

Yes. Non-Catholics may wear the Scapular but are not enrolled in the Confraternity. Confraternity members are under the authority of the Catholic Church.

So if you have a friend that is not Catholic, give them a Scapular and ask them to say a Hail Mary every day.
