Introduction
2016 marks the 100th year of Cub Scouting. Since it was officially founded by Baden-Powell in 1916 (then known as Wolf Cubbing), generations of young people have embarked on an adventure filled with laughter, excitement and camaraderie; an adventure inspired for many years by Rudyard Kipling’s fascinating classic, The Jungle Book!
