Bring the jungle to your pack
Adapted by Scouter Liam Morland, 1996
Jungle Opening
Cubs are in their lairs. Inspection has just finished.
- Akela
- Look well, O wolves, look well.
- Cubs
- Howl like wolves.
- Baloo
- Now this is the Law of the Jungle,
As old and as true as the sky:
- Cubs
- The Cub respects the Old Wolf;
The Cub respects themself!
Not skipping a beat, the Cubs walk in a line behind their Sixer
from their lair to their place in the circle.
- Cubs
- We are the colour six!
We are the colour six!
We are the colour six!
- Akela
- As the dawn was breaking the Wolf Pack yelled...
- Cubs
- ...Once, twice, and again!
- Akela
- Feet in the jungle that leave no mark.
- Cubs, softly
- No-Mark!
- Akela
- Eyes that can see in the dark.
- Cubs, softly
- The-dark.
- Akela
- Tongue, give tongue to it! Hark, O Hark!
The Cubs hold their hands out in front of them ready to do the
Grand Howl. The Sixer in charge waits until all the Cubs are ready, then
all the Cubs drop to the Grand Howl position.
- Cubs, loud
- A-ke-la we'll do our best!
The Cubs jump up and put their wolf ears on.
- Sixer, loud
- DYB, DYB, DYB, DYB!
Hands drop to a salute. Akela returns salute.
- Cubs, loud
- We'll DOB, DOB, DOB, DOB!
Jungle Closing
- Akela
- Pack, Pack, Pack.
- Cubs, as they gather in the Parade Circle
- Paaaaack!
Any presentations, etc. are done now.
- Akela
- As the dawn was breaking the Wolf Pack yelled...
- Cubs
- ...Once, twice, and again!
- Akela
- Feet in the jungle that leave no mark.
- Cubs, softly
- No-Mark!
- Akela
- Eyes that can see in the dark.
- Cubs, softly
- The-dark.
- Akela
- Tongue, give tongue to it! Hark, O Hark!
The Cubs hold their hands out in front of them ready to do the
Grand Howl. The Sixer in charge waits until all the Cubs are ready, then
all the Cubs drop to the Grand Howl position.
- Cubs, loud
- A-ke-la we'll do our best!
The Cubs jump up and put their wolf ears on.
- Sixer, loud
- DYB, DYB, DYB, DYB!
Hands drop to a salute. Akela returns salute.
- Cubs, loud
- We'll DOB, DOB, DOB, DOB!
- Akela
- The Wolf Cub Promise.
Everyone makes the Cub sign.
- Cubs
- I Promise to do my Best,
To do my Duty to God and the Queen,
To keep the Law of the Wolf Cub pack,
And to do a good turn to somebody every day.
- Akela
- Wood and Water, Wind and Tree,
Wisdom, Strength, and Courtesy,
Jungle Favour go with thee!
Good night, Cubs!
- Cubs
- Good night, Akela!
Cubs leave circling clockwise around the circle shaking hands
with each Scouter as they pass by.
Scouter's Five
A Scouter's Five can follow the promise, if desired:
- Akela
- The Jungle it is large,
and the Cub is small.
Let us think and be still.
A Scouter's Five, which can be said by any Scouter.
