But I was CUBBING before I was 10. Our Cub Scout troop in Paterson, NJ was run by all cats who played music. We lived in apartments and in those days playing an instrument was required by our families. Everybody lived within about 100ft of each other. We didn't learn much about knots and leaves but our field trips were to the Paramount and the Roxy to hear the big bands and watch a movie. I saw Woody Herman "The Band That Played The Blues" (that was before the first herd), Benny Goodman's Band, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey etc. None of us ever got a merit badge but we heard some fine music. We might have been the only Cub Scout Troop of it's kind in the US. None of us, as far as I know ever became Boy Scouts. I moved to Fair Lawn when I was 9 so the old days were behind me. Therefore I was stepping out before 10 years old.
