Ifl 1916, whcn Lord Baden-Powelldeveloped a prograo for the younlt brolhers of
Scouts,he tbund his inspiration in Rudyard
Kipling'sJunglcBooks,the tust lilled with stG
ries of the life a young boy rrised by wolves. He
might have choselr othcr heroic llntasies, but
Kipling's storie$not only offercd cxcitemen!
and atmosphefe, but also showed how to grow
into responsible,happy aduldlood.Thc jungle
people teach the boy iustice,respectfor self,
others and dre naturdl cnvironment, skills to
make him self-reliant and selJ'confident, good
health habits - in fact, all thc things B.,P wanted Scoutingto tedchCubs.
Tbday'sCub'ageyolmgsfcniare more sophisri,

world of makebelieveall the time, but they still

gle atmosphere that gives CubbiDg ils unique
names and cercmonies makes the pack a \'cry
specialplace, and all youngstenirespondpositively to belongingto a specialsocietyof their o\,!.n.
The unique colour and flavour of the jmgle
is a tbread wolrn into the pll)gl"m. On special
occasions,you might want to explor€ it a little

JungeNames
Ihe Wolf Cub leadar's Eandbook i^d\des
the jungle namesmost commonly used by leaders and suggestsnamcs for your sixefs. Most
of the l€ader names(Al<ela,Baloo, Bagheem,
R?rl$ha,Kaa, Chil, Hathi, Mang,etc) com€ from
the fi$t lungle Book, sthich includes all the
Mowgli stories. "[\rc secondJungle l]ook, n
eclectic mix of tales set everys/here from India
to the land of the Inuit, is the source for Fikki
tikki-tavi, the mongoose,;utd Sona,the Hiflalayan bear.
Most packs will not have more Scolrte(s
than the six or seven most common jungle
names.Some,howev€r, may be blessedwith
lots of junior leaders aod actiyity leadels and
want to name th€m, too- Both books offer lots
of possibiliti€s. Become familiar with them
and tell the Cubs a iittle about the characters
behind the n mes.

Dance ofBaloo (Iko Versions)
Inuoductioft Baloo is the big kind bea.r$.ho
teachesMowgli the l-awsof the Junge.
He is good-natured afld sometimes puffs up
a bit with a senseof his owfl importance,
He takes his iob v€ry seriously because he
loves Mowgi.
He knows how impottant it is lor a naked
cub without fangs of claws to learn the lessonswellSometimeshe is very stern and sometimes
he is boring.
That's becausehe understands the harsh wavs
of the jungle.
He fears for his pupil who, Iike all Cubs, sometimes becomesimpatient with lessons.
Dance One: Cubs begin in parade circle. \ryhen
the leader calls "Baloo", they tum to the right
and march slowly and stiffly around th€ circle,
head held high and proud, elbows snrck out,
and chin in rhe ait loudly repeatingthe Cub
I-aw: The Cub respects the Old IfoL; *re Cub
respectshimself.
The leader ca.lls.Halt', Cubs stop immediately, tum iffrards to the centre of th€ circle,
alld become themselvesagain.
Dalce T!yo: In this variation, it is a hot day and
Mowgi is tired and father cxaspented that Baloo keep$ making him rcp€at a lesson he al
ready knows by heart.
Cubs begin in parade circle around one
Cub (Moqrgli) sitti$g in th€ centre of the circle
lookilg rather disglsted.
The Cubs, struning like Baloo in rhe version above, take four steps forward towafds
Mov/gi, clap their 'paws" together in til1reand
say, "The Cub resp€cts rhe Old lfolf; the Cub
respcctshimselfl' Mowgli listens intently.
The Cubs turn and stfut four steps outwards, then tum again and repeat the performance. They do this tbiee times.
Finalty Mowgli, showing some impatience,
stands and says emphatically: "I hear thee,
Baloo, and I WILL remember!"
Dance ofshere Khan's Death
Here's a datrcethat fuvoh'esboth acting and
music. It has tlree distinct pafts, but you can
stop afier part one if you like. If you q,-antto
do a[ thrce, prrctise each section sepafltely a
nu$trer of times before putfitrg them togedler.

Bdrgs a smile to Baloo and Bagheera,
But bandarlogs' acts they detest!
B€cause of his age and o.perience,
Becaus€ of his str€ngdr and his paw,
Remember respect for Akela,
The word of the Heid Wolf is I-alia
Promise your best, Iove and service,
To cod and your county and queen;
Promise to follow the la:w of the pack,
And show those who need help that youh kcen.
Now these a€ the Laws of the Jungle,
Ard many and miglrty are they;
But the one that stands out among othefs,
ls to kJrow bou and uben to obey.
Putting Together AJunge Activity
Now that you have some ideas for jungle
atmospherc,you can pick out iunge gamesand
sonBsfrom dle chapters devoted to those specific elementsand put together thc piecesto design
at least one speciAljungle meeting, afternoo[
event, or weekeld camp each year. Here are a
couple of thoughts that include links to several
Activity fu €a requirements.
Ftnd Mowglt A Base Acdtdty
Although Cubs cao play this as a game ii!
doo$, it's a lot morc fllrl for an aftemoon outing.
Set up a base system of challengesaround a
closedcours€.Cornect eachbaseto a loop called
the bandarlogtrail. ff a six is successfi{at a chal'
lenge,the Cubsmove on. If they are ru$uccesstrl,
they become bandarlogs$/ho travel dre loop in
typical bandarlog fashion until they are back at
the baseagainfor a secold try
At the end of the course, arringe three lairs:
one for ShereIcran. one for Kaa.and one for Mow'
gi The Cubs'fin l chailengeis to find Mowgli'slatu
Thev'll llave to usetheil obs€r%tionskills,because

ing to Kaa'slair, sometufts of "fui' markingShere
I<lun's lair, and perhapssomesignsof knife shaq>
ering or whittling to nruk Mowglib latu).
Try someof thesechrllengesat the bases.
1. ((ireen Star): Mofi?.ll wants to string a ham
mock between two trees so he can sleep safely
above the Red Dogs after riling them up. H€
must choos€ a vine long enough to do the job,
but the strongest vines are a considerable distaflce away.To be safe,he can orily check out tlte
dist-mce between tie trees once befole choositrg a vine lotrg enough to do the job. of coulse,
there are no measuring tapes in the iungle.
(Prcvide two tneesor posts and, some distance
away, a selection of ropes of different lengths.
cubs can filst pace out the distancebetween the
trees and thelr go to find an appropriate rope. or
they can pick up a rope fust, check it ouq and
thcn urie it and other body esainatronsto choose
dre corect s?e. But let ftem ngue it out.)
2. (Grcet Stat): Giay Brcther and Akela have
m4deRa.dnthe bul very edgy,and Mowgli needs
to tedEr a leg of the bea$ to a bush while die
c'ussinghis plan to trap ShercKhan. (Cubsdecide
which knot to tie around a post or something
mor€ crcativerepr€sentiflgFama'sleg, and which
to tie arormd the tlee, then accomplishthe [ask.
A bowline and a dove hitch wil do fie jobs.)
3. (Taurn! Star): Stockthe bas€q'ith paper and
pencils. choose two familiar lines from lre
Jukgle Book.Wnr'€ the frst Iine in a slrnplecod€.
When thev have cracked it. Cubs write the second line in the samecode. Tlvo appropriate Iin€s
might be:
For rhe str€ngthof the pack is the lvo4
And the streogth of the wolf ls the pack.
4. Thke a breather and have some fun by asklng
the Cubsto perform the Danceof Bnloo.
5. (Green Star; lvtnter Cubbtng and Astronornct Badges): Mowgi, Baloo, and Bagh€era
have $?kencd and await the rising of the moon
before starting the hunt. While lying lazily a€ainst
the warm side of Bagh€€ra,Mos/gli notices that
some of the stafs aie amnged in pattems that
