I will be starting WOLF LIFE, a performance that is going to be going on for approximately 30 days. My goal for this exhaustive performance is to complete a Cub Scout Book, which proclaims all the achievements that Boyscouts tries to envoke into their members. I am also trying to use this to connect with my life years ago when I was a Cub Scout.
The Wolf TrailLet's make-believe you lived 200 years ago. Suppose your father was an Indian Chief and your mother was an Indian woman. You would have to learn the secrets of the great forest by going into it yourself. You would have to follow the tracks of the wolf to learn the way he lives.
On the trail you would see and learn many new things.
You would see how the beavers work together to build their mighty dam.
You would watch the geese in flight, following their leader.
By a stream you would stop to watch Indians build a big war canoe. They would work together just like beavers and follow their leader just as the geese do.
Each day you would follow the tracks farther into the forest each day you could jump across a wider stream or climb a taller tree. You would be getting stronger and stronger. You would learn more and more about the rocks, trees, birds, and animals. Your adventure would not always be in the woods, on day it might be at the side of the men who make arrows. They would teach you to make arrows. Another day you might learn to weave a blanket or build a tepee.
Each night you would tell the story of your adventures to your father and mother. They would praise you. They would tell you how to be ready for a bigger adventure tomorrow.
"But I'm not and Indian Boy!" you say. Well that’s true, but your teacher helps you learn thing you find out for yourself.
Your mother can help you do many useful things about the house.
Your father can help you make things with tools.
He can play ball or go fishing with you. When you do these things, you follow the Wolf Trail.
There are other people who will help you. Your Cubmaster will show you the way. Your Den Mother will help you make things like the arrow makers made.
Your den chief will help you to learn to jump like the deer, run like the fox, and build like the beaver,
Follow the Wolf Trail through this journey. You will get the fun and thrills the Indian boy had when he went into the great forest.
