Bob a job was scrapped ages ago because of abuse. Not sexual abuse but abuse
of the title 'Bob a Job', Scouts and Cubs were doing quite arduous jobs,

That's a little economical with the truth. Yes, there was such abuse,
and it was getting out of hand, but the opponents of the scheme blocked
any serious consideration of methods to control the abuse. Whether any
would have worked, I don't know, but they weren't even tried.
