In 1916 B-P started the Wolf Cub Section to provide a training scheme for Scouts' younger brothers. He based the Wolf Cub section on the Seonnee Pack from 'The Jungle Book' written by his close friend Rudyard Kipling. Kipling also wrote 'Kim', the title character of which inspired Kim's Game.

The programme, although very different to that of the Scouts, starts the Wolf Cubs on a trail to learning all the Scouting skills needed for their future life in the Troop.
