Back to the 90's

Today we'll continue a little with a theme.

The 1990's, for some a lost decade from a scouting point of view as they lost contact with uni and work, for others in that uber-cool era of Cool Britannia, boy bands, brit pop and gaming it may of felt really something out of the past and yet despite a drop in membership scouting did continue with many gainig awards and moving up.

The annual was still very much a thing, a more jazzed up to hold your attention but with similar content to past editions cos cubs (and for that matter Brownies) is a children's thing and deep down they're the same  whatever decade we're in.

As a cub you still did the same sort of things at your weekly meetings and at camp plus you'd of helped out raising funds an awareness by things such as bag packing at the local supermarket such as these cubs in northern England in 1997.

Whatever the doomsters said, scouting did continue on into the next century.
