Become a junior detective and solve the mystery of the doodle that showed up everywhere during World War II: “Kilroy was here.” Follow clues, crack codes, and analyze fingerprints to uncover who Kilroy really was! Scouts will engage in a variety of activities around investigatory practices while also exploring and discovering aspects of fingerprinting during World War II and conducting a WWII-themed investigation.

This workshop covers some of the requirements for the following badges:

  • Detective (Juniors)
  • Special Agent (Cadettes)
  • Truth Seeker (Senior)
  • Fingerprinting (Boy Scouts)
