Figure 1.--This image shows the vintage uniform worn by U.S. Cubs in the 1960s. Notice the button flap on the pants pocket.

We know of no significant changes in the U.S. Cub uniform during the 1960s. Boys wore the same peaked cap. The kerchiefs were still commonly the basic blue and yellow standard desisn. A HBU reader has provided this image showing that the pants still had button flap pockets (figure 1). I know the Cub uniform had these flap pockets in the 1950s, because I wore the uniform. I am not precisely when the unifotmed changed to ordinary slit pockets, apparentlky it was the early 1960s. There were both short and long pants uniforms, bur in the 1960s most boys continued wearing the long pants uniform.
