Grateful acknowledgment is1nade to those whose variations havc been used in the fo11oⅥ 汀ng pages。

It should be noted that the position of Jungle1Dances in the Pack Progra∏ 11ne has recently been clarined, and it is agreed that the

Dances are optional and are by no means essential in creating the

However,it is the rrlost natural thing

for(Cubs to want to dramatise a good story, and many Packs do appreciate the value of the Jungle Dances and thoroughly enjoy doing them。

unable to clamber up the sides of thc ravine after his big meal, It was trampled to death beneath the feet of the terrined bufFaloes。 was a dog’ s death。 Now for the IDance。 First the Pack forrn a circle, and turning to the left walk round蛀 n臣 ng the fdlowing wordsto the tune of Fr氵 r纟 7ε cgz纟 s: Mowgh’ s hunting, Mowgh’ s hunting,

The actions are the same, bu1 instead of singing the words

You can,if you like,repeat th`cry ofjoy at the end ofthe dance
