Cub Scout: Difference between revisions

Cub Scouts are organized in Packs, which are usually linked to a ''Scout group (district),'' providing a community with all age sections.  Adult leaders of Cub packs take the names of ''The Jungle Book'' 's main characters.  The Cubs are taught that the ''leader'' is called [[Akela]].  Akela is the Den leader at Den meetings; The Cubmaster at Pack meetings; the Teacher at school, or the parent at home. Cub Scouts have a distinctive [[two-finger salute]] according to the Jungle theme, in contrast to the three-finger salute of Boy Scouts. However, in [[the Scout Association]] of United Kingdom (UK) and some of its overseas branches, the two-finger salute was later replaced by the three-finger salute when they detached from the Jungle theme. Historically, Cub Scouts wear a distinctive headdress, which is a tight-fitting green felt cap with green felt visor, yellow pipings, and a yellow [[fleur-de-lis]] emblem at the front — although in some countries this has been replaced by more contemporary headgears.
