We're working toward getting a uniform together as I'm progressing personally which will be a work in progress because there are a number of items required and normally there's a period through induction before you get to wear it and get your first badge.
Having got plenty of traditional grey ribbed socks, grey shorts obviously and green garters a actual XL cap was good start point and while at some point a actual green bottle green woollen jersey will come in, for the moment I have a bootle green plain jersey that will suffice.
If the Christmas entry on the main blog reflect that for me at least this christmas was in 1974 more or less redux then it might seem apt to look at something else of that year although it would of been Christmas 1973 because annuals are almost without exception printed in the year before the one they are for so you have for the year rather than it being the annual of the year.
The popularity of the program needless to say lead to a number of annuals for pack members and outside of The Sixer this is one of the same era I have.
It follows a similar style to The Sixer except for having less to say about the Awards and things you can do to earn them which seems odd as this one was an ‘official’ publication.
As ever, the front cover is very much activity centred this time on a camp Tug Of War between two packs with participants being encouraged by the adults in attendance that does reflect something of the spirit of being a cub in that era
