The Kipling Jungle Book stories have been the Cub Scout section theme since chosen by Baden Powell in 1916. These stories are well suited to the age group and have survived in the Cub Scout Section across the world for more than 100 years. The books contain stories and yarns that reflect day to day life for a Cub Scout and the Pack. Leaders across Victoria may continue to use the Kipling Jungle Book theme and character names as their Leader names. Victoria supports the Kipling Jungle Book theme for the Cub Scout Section and also supports other age appropriate theme concepts.
We understand that having access to practical resources is important to you and we are working on some great resources. In the meantime we have two resources that will help you reinforce two key elements of The Adventure Begins, Plan>Do>Review and SPICES. The Plan>Do>Review ball has over 20 open questions on aspects of SPICES, personal growth, teamwork, the Scout Method and more which encourages members to provide open and honest review comments. The SPICES playing cards are available in two distinct sets, one for Joey Scouts and Cub Scouts and the other for Scouts, Venturers and Rovers. This learning tool provides 42 reflective questions that prompt members to think how they might have developed. And the beauty is, with both these resources there are no right or wrong answers!
These interactive, thought provoking resources are available at the Scout Shop. Within the Scouts Victoria website click Scout Shop and then Program 2018 or click this link.
It’s that simple. Go online now and order the Plan>Do>Review ball and SPICES cards for your Section.
