The Cub Parade

One common enough encounter with the world of Cub Scouts was through parades that my folks, yes the ones you read about at the start of this blog who just didn't get me in unlike my siblings would take me to.
When I think back to that era it's this style of uniform I have in mind where generally the boys as this was well before girls were admitted wore school trousers usually shorts although as you can see here there are three sets of covered legs that reflected the trend in upper juniors to misguidedly put them in longs and call them 'big boys' even though they clearly were not that mature at ten or eleven even.
It interesting to note in that context the boy in glasses who is very tall for his years is in shorts although I feel they'd benefit from being a bit longer on him.
