Cub Scouts pants wetting accident

In 1963, one February Sunday afternoon, I was coming back from a Cub Scout outing in the forest. Before leaving the camp site, to warm us up, we were given a large cup of hot chocolate to drink.

It was a long drive back and when my Den’s leader Marc’s parents dropped me in front of the house, my bladder was too full.

When I got out of the car, I could not hold it any longer, unable to contain my pee I truly soaked my Cub Scout’s thick navy woolen cloth uniform shorts.

I was so ashamed and I still remember vividly telling myself that if I had worn a diaper I would not have soaked my pants.
