Camps Jamborees and Events
I’m getting in touch to let you know about some workshops activities which I hope may be of interest to your groups of Scouts.
I run events where the participants become detectives for the day and solve a crime of their own. This begins with an examination of a crime scene and ends with the identification of the offender from a group of three suspects. Its a really good fun and hands on session which can be run within an hour.
I’m also doing some work with Warwickshire scouts camp providing a day long drop in session for their summer camp, the programme is extremely flexible and can be personalised for each group.
Photos and video clips of recent sessions can be seen either on our website or my Facebook page – The detective project Leicester.
My hour long workshops cost from £80 and can be run from any venue
Please let me know if you would like any further information
Kind Regards,
Catherine Thompson
