Jerry Riggs, a Sherlockian who has been involved with Boy Scouts in the Chief Okemos Council in Michigan for nearly fifty years, has developed ways to instruct his Scouts in the time honored “Sherlocking” first developed by Lord Baden-Powell for British army scouts and later used by him in the International Boy Scout movement. To quote Mr. Riggs, “Observation and deduction are no less important than the other skills we have all commonly come to connect with Scoutcraft, that is, signaling, lifesaving, firebuilding, etc. If anything, detective skills are among the most important abilities for a scout to master. It is a primary job of any scout to observe subtle signs in the environment and to draw accurate inferences from those ‘clues’. Failure to do this properly in the field can lead to serious consequences.” Over the years, Mr. Riggs has sought to bring “Sherlocking” into American scouting. Mr. Riggs is a retired Postal worker, a Vietnam veteran, long distance runner, artist and an accomplished story teller.
