In the Cub Pack, the leaders are called strange names. In charge of the pack is Akela.

These names were taken from a book called 'The Jungle Book'. This book and stories is about a boy, Mowgli and his adventures. Mowgli got lost in the jungle and was found by a wolf family - Mother, Father and 3 Cubs. They were accepted in the Wolf pack. The wolf Pack is led by Akela (that is why our cub pack is led by Akela), and they showed much kindness to Mowgli. Mowgli was very different to the rest of the cubs but was accepted as one of the pack, and together they had many adventures.
