88th Manchester Cub Scout Winter Camp 1st – 3rd February 2002

We are having a winter indoor "camp" for the first time. From when you arrive at 19:00 (7pm)

until you leave on Sunday at 15:30 (3:30pm) your time will be filled with solving puzzles and

crimes, detection and disguise.

How good a detective are you?

As detectives you will learn to work together to investigate and solve the latest crimes. Are your

observational skills good enough to recognise the stranger in our midst? Can you say what colour

their eyes and hair are? How tall were they? Will the identi-kit picture and finger prints match the culprit?

These are some of the questions you will be asking throughout this week end of detection and investigation.
