Wolf Cub Handbook

Wolf Cub Handbook

Early in the Scouting movement, Baden-Powell realized younger boys were hungry for the kind of adventures and lessons their older brothers were getting in Boy Scouts. In 1916, after a few years of experimentation, he used Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book as his inspiration for the Wolf Cub program.

This program relied on the stories and lessons from Kipling’s book to help young boys learn to follow their leaders, work together, build character, stay fit, and serve others. As the program evolved, direct references to The Jungle Book decreased, though its influence is still evident in terms like Akela, Grand Howl, etc.
