The Wolf Cub's Handbook
The Wolf Cub's Handbook is an instruction handbook written by Baden-Powell for Wolf Cubs (present-day Cub Scouts) and pack leaders. The book is based on the theme of the jungle, described in a children's book, The Jungle Book, written by Baden-Powell's friend Rudyard Kipling.
==Origins==
By 1913, Baden-Powell's Boy Scout movement had grown beyond all expectation, but there was growing pressure in Britain, for some kind of scheme for boys who were too young to join the Scouts at 11 years old. Baden-Powell (B-P) asked his deputy, Percy Everett, to prepare a plan for "Junior Scouts" and the outline was published in the Headquarters Gazette in 1914. B-P was not entirely satisfied with the results, and whilst retaining elements of Everett's scheme, he set about putting his own mark on it. B-P gave the project a theme by basing it on Rudyard Kipling's ''Jungle Book'', which had been published a decade earlier and was an established favourite with children.
B-P decided to initiate the scheme with a handbook, similar in style to ''Scouting for Boys'' which had so successfully launched the Boy Scouts. He wrote the new handbook in chapters called "bites" because ''"this book is a meal offered by an old Wolf to the young Cubs"''. He included a précis of the ''Mowgli'' stories from the ''Jungle Book'', and ceremonies and games based on them. Woven into this were instructional passages on health, fitness, camping, observation, knotting, semaphore, first aid, knitting and "being useful at home".〔(The Wolf Cub's Handbook, Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell, Arthur C. Pearson, 1916 ) (pp.2-5)〕 The first edition did not contain details of the tests and badges that Wolf Cubs were expected to pass, as these had yet to be finalised. At the end of 1916, Baden-Powell met Vera Barclay, a young Scouter from Hertfordshire who had written in the ''Headquarters Gazette'' about female leadership in the Scout Movement during wartime. She accepted Baden-Powell's offer of the post of national Wolf Cub Secretary and working closely together, the details of the Wolf Cub programme were devised and included in the second edition.〔 (pp. 2-4)〕
