That year "The Chief Scout's Advance Party Report" was published which brought to a close a period of reflection undertaken since January 1964 and led to significant structural changes within the organisation with the question of a pre-Cubs section having been looked into. The report came to the conclusion that any lowering of the age for the newly renamed Cub Scouts below 8 years old would result in difficulties in retaining the older Cub Scouts and that allowing of boys under 8 should not be allowed to maintain a uniform approach. Any provision for boys under 8 must therefore be developed as their own section which was not recommended as being followed at that time. It did however recommend that any developments in this area be monitored by national Cub Scout leadership.
