In Cub Scout packs, Akela is a symbol of wisdom, authority, and leadership. Originally in Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, Akela is also the name of the great grey Lone Wolf, who led all the Pack by strength and cunning, lay out at full length on his rock, and below him sat forty or more wolves of every size and colour. Wolves are also common in the lyrical themes of Akela.

All albums of Akela start with the letter "F"
