Tim Stutt, 10 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W, Stutt, was the winner. He wrote "The promise of the Wolf Cub tells you very much about what it means to be one.

The words "Old Wolf", means your Cub leader, your parents, and at school, your teacher. "The Cub does not give in to himself", means that you will Refreshments consisted of sandwiches, two Valentine cakes, and an orange drink.
