Cub scouts in the 1970's

For me the cub thing started in the nineteen-seventies where quite a bit around boyhood was different some because of technological advance while for us having a colour television  with three channels was a near miracle  and keeping in touch while you were out required the use of an outdoor hooded PayPhone today's boy has large screen multi-channel HD tv and a pocket sized computer that doubles up as a portable telephone that he can use more or less anywhere.
Also society itself was a bit different boys played more on the streets and beyond on their own, most children had two parents and society was more into girls only and boys only things of which scouting in all its sections was no different.
Girls were in Girlguiding, Boys were in the Scout Association and for those that didn't the Boy's Brigade and it's female equivalent were still very much a thing.
These two images, found in better quality than before are very much of the Cub Scouts of my Brothers age and so the one that I remember vividly seeing him go off in that uniform every Thursday evening.
As the shorts were not made for scouting not as best I can recall not being in the districts scouts suppliers, boys (and it was JUST boys then) wore the same ones at school which is why they are as short as they are as that was the trend then and lined.
He looks smart and the uniform is sufficiently different than any other to identify you as part of that movement you were proud to belong to.
