We all know the adventures described in the Jungle Book! The characters are a young boy and jungle animals that children can relate to and together they embark on exciting adventures whilst learning new skills. The adult leaders running the Cub Packs are called Pack Scouters with the person in charge being the Akela – as in the jungle book’s leader of the wolf pack.
