Who is Akela?
Just as that story says, in a real wolf pack all the wolves look to Akela,
the leader, for guidance -- when to work, when to learn, when to play. Our den leaders and Pack leaders all act as Akela for our Cub Scouts, but it is vital that Parents act as Akela also! Parents help the scouts complete all of the rank requirements and provide a foundation for everything a scout does! |

Sir Robert Baden-Powell,
the founder of Scouting, based Cub Scouting on one of the stories in Rudyard
Kipling's Jungle Book. It was called "Mowgli's Brothers."
We know it as the story of Akela and Mowgli." Akela is the leader of
the wolf pack.
