Cub Caps

 

The first descriptions of Cub Caps were that they should be green, peaked with yellow piping. B-P described them as a cricket cap. Unlike the Scout 'wide awake' or lemon squeezer hat, caps were in common use when adopted in 1916.

The style and colour remained throughout. Hats were abolished for all sections in 1989.
