I Was a Cub Scout was a two-man synth-pop/indie rock band from Long Bennington and Collingham, England, consisting of William Bowerman and Todd Marriott. They were formed in 2006, and split on 5 June 2008.

Since the split, both former members have created new bands. Todd Marriott has formed YTG, an electronic duo.[1] .[2][3]
Not only has Bowerman since formed a group with friends, named "Brontide" (who will release their debut album Sans Souci in May 2011), he also plays live and also session drums for La Roux. Paul Mullen (of yourcodenameis:milo) also announced on his Twitter that he had been recording with Will and Gordon Moakes of Bloc Party. [4]
On 2 March 2011, Todd Marriott announced the reformation of the band without Bowerman via Myspace and Tumblr.[5] He stated that though the two no longer have any personal issues with each other, he was seeking to return to the "roots" of the band, controlled completely by himself.
