Cub Scout Annual 1979 – Official Vintage Scouting Annual
New!
Description
A nice condition copy overall, showing only very light age‑related handling. The internal pages are clean and presentable. On the rear page, the young owner from the 39th Bradford South Cub Scout Group has written on the “Crack the Codes” competition entry form, which was never sent off. A charming, personal touch that adds to the book’s story. A solid, display‑worthy example ideal for collectors of scouting memorabilia or those with a fondness for late‑70s Cub Scout culture.
History of the Cub Scout Annuals
The official Cub Scout Annuals of the 1970s captured the spirit of the movement at a time when scouting was thriving across the UK. These books blended real‑world features, outdoor skills, badges, games, puzzles, rescue services, community work, and Cub Scout achievements, often spotlighting organisations such as the RNLI, police, and armed forces.
The 1979 edition reflects this perfectly — a mix of adventure, practical knowledge and aspirational stories designed to inspire young Cubs. Today, these annuals make excellent nostalgic display pieces and are especially meaningful to former members of local groups like the 39th Bradford South.
