I Was a Cub Scout was originally a one-man band, consisting of Todd Marriot who collaborated with various individuals, none of whom occupied a residency within the group until William Bowerman officially joined the band in mid 2006.

The band spent about six months playing house parties and night clubs across England, their exposure gaining them some popularity. They have also maximized their exposure by touring extensively, playing in the 2007 Carling and Download Festivals, as well as embarking on a tour with DARTZ!.

Four singles have been released, each of which has had considerable airplay. IWACS released their debut album, I Want You to Know That There Is Always Hope—produced by Hugh Padgham—in February 2008. The duo consider it to be their best work yet.

The band toured with Kill Hannah and ¡Forward Russia!, however they were forced to pull out of the Minus The Bear tour for undisclosed reasons.

The band toured in February, promoting the single "Pink Squares", and their debut album.

On 5 June 2008 it was confirmed by the band via a MySpace bulletin that they would be splitting. They honoured their tour commitments through June and July, their show on July 14 of 2008 being their last.
