In the 70s and 80s I remember Halloween being an "occasion" every year at Cubs with apple bobbing and fancy dress and various themed games. Weirdly it's the only event I can remember us doing at Cubs every year, probably because apple bobbing was followed by sticking your wet face into flour to find sweets with your nose and mouth before you suffocated. Used to hate that. Don't remember trick or treat but do remember people guising our doorstep in leafy Surrey. All that said, I'm a fan of anything that helps kids enjoy their life and get a sense of community especially at the moment, and we had two lit pumpkins in the window and got through a tub of Heroes, a big selection bag of Maoam and a load of mini Haribo bags.
