When Mowgli lived with the wolves in the jungle, he learned that they had to hunt together and follow the directions of Akela, the Old Wolf, if they were going to survive.
The Old Wolf represents the Cubs and the pack. Obeying the law helps the pack stay together and have fun.
Imagine what your pack would be like if Cubs did just what they felt like doing. There would be lots of noise and running around, but not much else.
You wouldn't get a chance to do neat things like going on hikes, camping, crafts and finding out what teamwork is all about.
That's why, in your Cub pack and in a real wolf pack, all the Cubs and young wolves need to do their share to follow the Old Wolf and listen to what he (or she) says.
When you do your share, you are respecting Akela, the Old Wolf, and helping the pack stay together and have fun doing things.
