Socks for the Wolf Cub

One topic I haven't actually spoken of on here is socks because it was unusual for the Scout Association to make a stipulation about the exact form although a pack may of had tradition and in the days of Wolf Cubs and Cubs even the shorts were basically the same as you had at school.

One often sees at infant and junior level patterned socks for boys with characters and motifs although some schools do insist on them being a plain colour but one place that still stocks the plainer long sock I wore is Marks and Spencers and they do go to size 4-7 which may fit some (certainly does with me).

These do fit well with 'proper' school type shorts for scouting type activities without drawing too much attention being what I wore for a long time after formal school with ribbing and aren't expensive.

I bought a pack for my activities today.
