I have referred to the group as Wolf Cubs, their name did not change to Cub Scouts until 1967. Pictured with their Akela Mrs Mary Shaw (now called a Cub Scout Leader), interestingly she is portrayed at the top of the \u201dheap\u201d! Dating this photograph has ‘warmed’ some memories up! Martin Gibson believed the image was from 1966; but Richard Watson advised: “I went to Rosecroft in the summer of 1966, Mrs Shaw would not let me join the Cubs when I was 10 years, but Norman Pass (Scout Leader) let me go straight into the Scouts in 1965\/66. and Richard Martin, Pete and Rob Jackson, Pete\u2019s younger brother were all in the Scouts then. So for Richard Martin to be in the Cubs, it must have been 3 or 4 years before 1966.” Malcolm Covell adds: “Back row far right is myself as Senior Sixer (3 stripes on arm). In 1961 I went to Guisborough Grammar school (at 11 years) and you moved from Cubs to scouts at 11 so it is before 1961 and I would put it at 1960 possibly very early 1961, as I was 11 in the April. Those were the days!”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael (Mick) Hill tells us: \u201d I am third from right, if I recall correctly am wearing the fur lined boots. I have been trying to recall one or two memories of my days in the Cubs. I was Tawny Six and recall visiting Hummersea one evening for swimming [paddling], rather a chilly night! I recall trying to change on shingle and rock not easy. Also tracking on the old railway and on one occasion each Cub had to take a girl along for what reason I cannot recall. At that age boys didn’t like girls!\u201d<\/strong> Mick has followed up with: “Following my discovery of myself on the photograph with the Wolf Cubs circa 1960\/61, l keep referring back to see if any further information has been forthcoming. One or two further memories of my time in Loftus are: walking to what was then the Youth Club for school dinners, also I remember being a member of the RSPCA. I believe this may also have been run by Mrs Shaw \u2013 Akela at Cubs \u2013 but will stand corrected on that. One name I can recall is Bernard Dobson who lived at South Loftus, when I first moved there as I remember he shares the same birthday and is the same age as myself. Good to remember the old days.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
