That 70's Cub


The image of what I recall a boy scout in the 1970′s especially the period my younger brothers were in it was very much this. Green cap and jersey, the colourful necker and shorts. Long socks with green garters to keep them smartly full pulled up at all times went with them.

Finding some of them when I first started regressing around the age of sixteen was part of my earliest and most memorable attempts at dressing to match that younger than my years boy self then as it wouldn't of been long before he'd of transferred to the Scouts so parts of the uniform of of been redundant and left in a draw I explored.

Longs tended to be what an increasing number of Boy Scouts -those in the 10 ½ through 14+ -were wearing reflecting the changes in school uniform in an era where boys casually wore jeans and little else although shorts were worn at camp.
