Sawdust has decided, through much deliberation and consideration, that he wishes to become the first official protector, or 'guard' of the pack and its territory. There are scouts, yes, and Serene has intentions of becoming a sentry- which is only one step away from the duties of a scout- but Sawdust wants to be even more active in the task of defense. His father has chosen to endorse him in his endeavor, and once he reaches adulthood, Sawdust will found the first guardswolves group of the Blue Sun lands.
