The Adventure:In The Jungle Book, Shere Khan the tiger was the most feared animal in the whole jungle. But do you remember that he had a limp? Of course, this didn’t keep him from being a successful hunter.

Lots of people have different disabilities to overcome as well. Their obstacles don’t prevent them from pursuing adventures, however.

As a Lair, organize a mini Olympics. Think of three sports or games that are played by athletes with disabilities, then compete in the same way against other Cubs in your Pack.

BALOO’S CAVE Beliefs & Values

Plan:• What sports or games do Cubs in your Lair enjoy and how

are they adapted for people with disabilities? • When will you hold the mini-Olympics? • What games or sports will you include? • What equipment will you need? • What skills do you need to learn ahead of time?

Do:• Learn any new skills at meetings. • Practise like an athlete. Hold the Shere Khan Olympics. • Have fun!

Review:• What do you know now that you did not know before? • What surprised you in this Adventure • How did your Lair handle this Adventure? • How has this changed how you see people with

different abilities? • What were some of the highlights of this Adventure? • How did you feel before, during, and after this adventure? • What would you do differently in the future? • How can you build on this experience? Can you invite

a Special Olympian to talk to your Pack?

Safety note:When your Lair decides on the events for the Olympics, think of what equipment (helmets, crash pads, etc.) may be needed to prevent an injury if somebody takes a spill.
