June 24th 1916: The launch of 'Wolf Cubs' by General Robert Baden-Powell, for boys aged 8 - 10. It was themed on Jungle Book, by Baden-Powell's friend and neighbour, Rudyard Kipling, with adult leaders named after the story characters ie Akela, Baloo and Bagheera. In 1966 the name was changed from 'Wolf Cubs' to 'Cub Scouts'.

🇬🇧 81 years ago, millions in the Allied nations celebrated the end of the Second World War in Europe.

Whilst fighting continued in the Far East until August, Victory in Europe Day was a significant moment in bringing an end to the global conflict.

Up and down the country people breathed a sigh of relief and took to the streets to celebrate.

Today we pay tribute to the Second World War generation, whose service and sacrifice protected the freedoms we enjoy today 🇬🇧
