The 80's

 We're going back today

The mid 1980's was an odd time as by this point I encountered cubs around the other adult settings I was moving in such as being involved in community projects and organizations, sometimes working with them.

Being an adult having to ask the scoutmaster for prompts and assistance was something else although it might be said grounded me a bit.

Structurally things were very similar to that of the seventies, in terms of uniform little happened and boys often wore shorts which of course post '67 went as they moved up to scouts so things were quite recognizable to me.

It is interesting that an actual Wolf Cub is on that annual cover with more of a conservation animal welfare feel, showing how cubs could make a difference while making a play on the pre '67 name of this group within scouting.

As ever badges and awards are reviewed so badges  for information technology came on as many boys learned the rudiments of programming.
