Historical Notes: The BSA Boy’s Cubbook was not just an adaptation of Baden-Powell’s 1916 “Wolf-Cub’s Handbook.” Akela, Baloo, and Mowgli from Kipling’s “Jungle Book” had been transferred to North America. The tests and awards were rewritten with advice from educators and child psychologists.

Quote:  The Indian has always been pictured to us as a warrior and fighter -- but he was a great peace maker as well. He was as colorful and dramatic in his peace making as he was swift and terrible on the warpath. But his warpaths led to the peace of the council fire. May each Bear Cub see, with the Indian, the values of peace, and seek in home and school and backyard and street to show “good-will” as the Law of the Cub Pack states.
