Welcome to Cubs
Welcome to another year of fun
at Cubs!
Your life in the jungle has just begun!
New adventures are waiting for you and the other Cubs in your pack.
Along the way, you'll learn to do all sorts of fun and challenging
things...like:
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, you’ll 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.
