CSI: Cub Scout Introduction to Forensic Science









Mrs. Kimberly Fiorucci, Mesa PD's Chief DNA Criminologist, was called out to our Den Meeting this week to train us how to collect evidence at a crime scene. She taught us about DNA, how to test red fluids to see whether it is blood or spaghetti sauce, and how to use different types of light to look for body fluids on fabric. She also talked to us about crime prevention and how we can help law enforcement officers and be safe if we ever witness a crime.

Tonight, your Scout completed requirements 7a, 7b, and 7f of "Law Enforcement is a Tough Job." So sign off on those three and then complete 7c, 7d, and 7e (super easy to do, just read below). Once you've completed all of Achievement 7, we'll sign it off and your Scout will be one step close to that Bear Rank!

You can complete 7c, 7d, and 7e at home. They are all very simple. You simply have to check all your doors and windows to make sure they are secure, write down emergency numbers in your book (most of them will be 911, but in case you don't have it handy: the number for poison control is 1-800-222-1222), and making sure your Scout knows a few of your neighbors and then writing their contact information in the Bear Handbook.
