Cubs, Brownies, Scouts or Girl Guides, which were you?
 
Back in the early 60's joined the Cubs group at the old St.Peters school down Willows Lane. Couldn't afford the uniform but did have the neckerchief and the woggle mind. Never good enough to get even 1 badge! :mad::D

Looking forward to reading about your adventures in an Exposa in the news of the world

P.S. Did you keep the uniforms?
