The Jungle Book
by Rudyard Kipling

    Lord Robert Baden-Powell, called B.-P. for short, started Scouting in Britain in 1907. From his experience as a General in the British army, B.-P. had discovered that children could be trusted to do important jobs once they had been shown what to do.  B.-P. had written a book for adults about camping and survival and and called it "Aids to Scouting. In 1907, he decided to write a similar book about Scouting for children. It was an instant success! Scouting became so popular, that by 1916 he had to write a second book for younger children who wanted to join Scouting . B.-P. called this second book, "The Wolf Cub's Handbook". The Cub Handbook was based on Rudyard Kipling "The Jungle book. And so Wolf Cubs Started.
