Geocache Description:

The next stop on the Scout themed 2nd section of the Yarra Trail, offering a beautiful vista of Ruffey Lake and surrounds.

Shere Khan is a fictional tiger who appears in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Books.

Baden Powell adopted Kiplings stories as a framework to base the Cub Scout Lore around to teach loyalty, independance and resiliance.

As the story goes: Shere Khan's failed attempt to hunt humans causes a human "cub" to stray from his parents. By the time Shere Khan catches up with the infant it has already been adopted by the wolves Raksha and Father Wolf, who have named the child Mowgli.
Despite Shere Khan's bluster, Mowgli is accepted into Akela's wolf pack and protected by Bagheera and Baloo. Furious at losing his kill, the tiger swears that the boy will be his some day, giving rise to the rest of the storys framework.

Over the next decade, while Mowgli is growing up, Shere Khan infiltrates the wolf pack by promising the younger wolves rich rewards once Akela is deposed. His plan comes to a head when the young wolves maneuver Akela into missing his kill, and the pack council meets to expel him.
At the meeting Shere Khan threatens that if the wolves do not give him Mowgli he will take over their hunting territory. Having been pre-warned by Bagheera, Mowgli attacks Shere Khan and his allies with a burning branch (the red Flower) and drives them away.
Akela leaves the pack to become a lone hunter. Mowgli returns to the human village, but swears that he will return one day with Shere Khan's skin.

But that is another story.
