John and Peter want to be bakers. Every day they go to Mr Taylor's bakery to learn how. John and Peter are baker's apprentices. Find out and write the meaning of other words you don't know: [ 70 ] Now we're going to tell you more things about life in the pack Like any people, the pack needs a place of its own. It doesn't need to be very big. All you need is a place to meet and to keep important things, like camp souvenirs, equipment, books and trophies. This place is called a den and it is the pack's home, so keep it clean and tidy! Draw your pack's den. If it doesn't have one, imagine how you would like it to be. [ 71 ] The bee buzzes over the daisies. The frog croaks for his heart is broke. The cat mews to get into the house. The lion roars and the grizzly bear snores. The horse neighs and the hound bays. The wolf howls and licks his jowls. All animals have a sound only they make. The noise a wolf makes is called howling, and wolves howl to gather the pack together and find all its members after they have been out hunting. Wolves also howl as if to express their "joy at being alive". Cubs also have a special way of showing they are happy to be part of the pack and keep the law in their lives. This is called the grand howl. How do they do the grand howl in your pack? [ 72 ] Yellow is a special colour for cubs Try repeating "yellow lorry" as fast as you can It's difficult, isn't it! Do you know why the colour yellow identifies Cub Scouts in almost all the countries in the world? When the scouts had only just been created, their badges were embroidered in yellow thread on green cloth. And that's why in many countries in the world, green is used for the Intermediate Sections, that is the scouts. A few years later, when the first packs were created, the colour yellow was chosen for them because it was already one of the colours which made people think of Scouting. Draw and paint your pack's flag. [ 73 ] The council rock When the Pack needs to deal with important business it gathers at the council rock. This is a meeting for the leaders and all the cubs in the pack, even those who have only just arrived and have not made their promise yet. This is because everyone has to give their opinion when important business is being talked about. For example, at the council rock everyone helps decide on the plan which the leaders present for the weeks to come, in which the activities that the pack chose a short time before are organised. [ 74 ] Faithful and affectionate like Rikki-tikki-tavi Rikki tikki tavi, the mongoose, am I. My fur and tail are like those of a small cat, but my head and my habits are more like those of a weasel. I will be curled up on your shoulder, even if you can't see me. At night time I'll sleep by your bed and watch over you as you sleep. Every so often, I'll be coming to see how you've got on. 11 13 14 10 12 15 9 16 8 4 17 5 6 3 18 7 19 2 1 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 40 27 36 38 39 34 35 37 28 33 29 A long time ago I 32 31 30 saved the life of a friend and his family. When you need my help you won't have to ask, because I'll be there before you even realise. Join numbers 1 to 40 and you will see me appear. Paint me as you like to make me the most handsome. [ 75 ] During the rains of a summer in India, an avalanche of mud and stones washed me up bedraggled and stunned in the tangled garden of a small house where Teddy and his parents lived. They felt sorry for me and took such good care of me that I soon became part of the family. I remember that, as soon as I got my strength back, I took a huge leap and landed on Teddy's shoulder. What great friends we have been ever since! I was very fond of my friend and his family and also very grateful to them, for I would have died without their help. Once I was able to show them how much I cared about them, when I saved them from the attack of Nag, the evil cobra, and his dangerous wife Nagaina. [ 76 ] You see, I was in Teddy's garden having a quiet conversation with Darzee, the tailor-bird, and his kind wife Darzeena, when I heard a hiss in the thick grass. I jumped back quickly and I saw two cobras' heads rising out of the grass, their hoods spread. Those cobras thought that I would be filled with terror just to see them. But they forgot that mongooses are not easily frightened. What's more, as my mother taught me, a mongoose's business in life is to fight dangerous snakes. Some time I'll tell you all about what happened. This little mongoose with the complicated name, whose eyes burn with worry whenever a friend has a bad moment, wants to be loyal and affectionate to all cubs, and he is ready to help whenever he's needed. [ 77 ] It does us all good to be kind! What about you... what do you do to be a kind person? On the pages to come we'll talk about lots of things that will help you to be a kind person and a friend to others. [ 78 ] All of us have things that make us feel happy or sad I try not to hide the things I like and dislike, the things I am afraid of and when I am feeling happy or sad People can always tell when we are happy. We also cry about things that cause us pain. It does us good to be like that. Both boys and girls have these feelings. Let me tell you how Mowgli learned about sadness and tears. he first time that Mowgli cried was when he was already a young man and he had to leave the jungle to go and live with humans. He was very startled, because he didn't know what was happening to him. Bagheera explained that these were tears of sadness and that all humans sometimes shed them. "Let them fall," said Bagheera. And so Mowgli sat down and cried unconsolably. Then he went to say goodbye to mother wolf and, hugging, he cried again while his brother and sister wolves howled in grief. [ 79 ] I don't mind leaving my family when I go camping with the pack So many fun things can happen in camp! This page is for you to write the things that happened to you at your first camp. We went camping to The most fun thing What scared me most What I liked best The most What I missed most difficult thing about home [ 80 ] What are you like with other people? I accept what my friends think, even if I think something different As you know, the sixes suggest activities to do and the pack chooses the ones they like most. Tell us about the last game you played to choose activities: What activity did you What activity proposed by propose in your six? your six did the pack choose? If it didn't choose any, What did you think of the how did you feel about that? activities that were chosen? [ 81 ] I am kind to the other children in the pack and I like them to be kind to me Giving gifts is a way of showing kindness! This is an idea for a simple gift, you can make for your six 1. Take a piece of coloured card and draw or trace this seal 6 times. You can use a different shape as long as it is about the same size. Then cut out all six. 2. Glue each figure to a wooden clothes-peg, the kind that are used to hang clothes out to dry. 3. When you get together with your six, give your gift to each of your friends. It'll look really nice if the whole six show off your gift on their shirts! Even better, suggest to your six that they make more to give to the whole pack. [ 82 ] I like to make new friends Family and friends are the ones who love each other most and who have the best time together. Whenever you make new friends, write their names here. These are my new friends His or her name is This is how we met [ 83 ] Are you interested in other people?
