Pack Council: 21-Feb-2008 7:30pm
McDonalds Eltham

1. Opening
For our opening we had The Law of the Jungle read aloud by Akela. We discussed how this fits into the way that our Pack should behave.

The Law of the Jungle
Now this is the Law of the Jungle–as old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back–
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack. (…)

2. Attendance & Apologies
In attendance were: Ben, Tom, Ash S, Ash B, Jake, Kira, Stuart, Bradley
Akela, Rama, Shada
Apologies: Baggy

5. General Discussion
Most of tonight’s discussion centred on the March 6th Sixer Night.
Some games were chosen, and an activity chosen based around a Trail Signs Hike.
The Cubs were also asked to consider where we should have the next Pack Council – Ideas included Pizza! and having the meeting on a train.

6. Training
No training at this meeting, members of the Pack Council be looking at our trail signs at the close of next Thursday’s Cub night.

Many fries and icecream cones were devoured during the session

7. Closing
For our closing we had Night Song in the Jungle from the start of the Jungle Book.

Night-Song in the Jungle
Now Chil the Kite brings home the night
That Mang the Bat sets free.
The herds are shut in byre and hut -
For loosed till dawn are we.
This is the hour of pride and power,
Talon and tush and claw.
O hear the call! Good Hunting, All
That keep the Jungle Law!
– Rudyard Kipling

Meeting closed @ 8:15pm
