things...like:
Hiking, camping
and outdoor activities
Learn how to keep warm and cook outdoors
Visit neat places
Make crafts, play games and sing around a campfire
Learn how to take care of yourself
Work as a team with the other Cubs
Learn about the Jungle Book
A few things to know...
I'm a
Tenderpad?
At your very first Cub meeting, you may have noticed your
leaders called you a "Tenderpad." Wonder why?
Well, the name "Tenderpad" means the soft skin
on the bottom of a real wolf cub's feet. The older wolves
help the Tenderpads learn about the pack, and while they
learn, the cub's feet grow tough. Soon, youll be
ready to follow the pack on adventures.
There are four
Tenderpad requirements you must pass before you become
a Wolf Cub:
1. Repeat and
explain the Wolf Cub Promise and the Wolf Cub Law
2. Perform the Grand Howl with other Cubs
3. Demonstrate the Cub Salute and handshake, and repeat
the Cub Motto
4. Read or listen to the story of Lord Robert Baden-Powell,
the founder of Scouts.
Your leaders
will explain all these things to you, or you can check
them out in The Cub Book.
Who are
my leaders?
Your leaders may be called, Akela, Raksha, Bagheera or
Baloo. These are names of characters in the Jungle Book,
a book written by Rudyard Kipling, long ago. It's the
story of Mowgli, a young boy who is raised by animal friends
in the jungle, and the basis for the Wolf Cub program.
How do
I fit in with the other Cubs?
You'll become part of a smaller group called a "Six",
a group of Cubs just like you. One of the group will be
chosen as the leader - he or she is called a "Sixer."
There will also be an assistant called a "Second."
What
do I wear?
You get to wear a new Wolf Cub uniform, and you'll be
given a Pack neckerchief.
Can I
earn badges?
You sure can! Once you become a Wolf Cub, you can do all
sorts of things to earn badges in Wolf Cub Activity areas
like...The Natural World, Outdoor Activity, Creative Expression,
Health and Fitness, Home and Community, and Canada and
the World. You may wear all your badges on your Cub sash.
