About the Program

Electives
Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of
scouting, created the Cub Scout section for children from 7-11, he used
the The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling as the symbolic framework for
cubs.
Without orders, without loyalty and commitment, without clear goals to
reach and without the will to reach them there is no way of being free,
there is only chaos, like the bandar-log...Through solidarity with the
pack and keeping the law, little Mowgli learns to be free among the
wolf people. The wisdom and goodness of the old wolves teach him to
distinguish which examples are worthy of imitation. Baloo, the bear,
represents wisdom, decency, goodness, strictness. Baloo teaches Mowgli
how to be a good friend.
