A new training scheme for Cub Scouts was launched in September 1990.
In May 2000 a new report called simply 'The Programme Review' was received by the Committee of the Council after extensive consultation with members of the Association and focus groups. A uniform review was conducted shortly afterwards. The new uniforms were launched during London Fashion Week in 2001 and implementation of the new training programmes began in 2002. This included splitting Ventures back into two sections, Explorer Scouts (14-18) and Scout Network (18-25); effectively restoring the pre-APR age boundaries by December 2003.
