This is named for my mum who was the Akela of the 3rd Walthamstow Cub Scouts for many years. Akela means 'alone' in Hindi and, in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book, Akela is a wolf whose character denotes courage, strength and wisdom. As a boy I immersed myself in the Jungle Book - it was about animals, after all!
