Jungle Book at Buxton Opera House
Baden-Powell based Cub Scouting on a collection of stories from Rudyard Kipling’s ‘The Jungle Book’. To this day the Cub section takes much of its inspiration from the stories and many of ceremonies and moral lessons featured in the book still form a key part in the way the ‘pack’ is run.
The opening and closing ceremonies still feature a ‘Grand Howl’ where the Cubs make a promise to Akela (the leader of the wolf pack) that they will do their best. Also, all the leaders are named after characters from the book.
It is good for all Cubs to understand the link between the Jungle Book and Cub Scouting therefore, to help our pack gain a further understanding, We are planning a trip to Buxton Opera House to watch the Jungle Book on Thursday 9th June 2011.
Tickets cost £8.00 each
If your Cub would like to attend on the night, we need confirmation and full payment NO LATER than 2nd June 2011.
