Kids’ Secret Agent Day
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help a fellow secret agent who has gone undercover to infiltrate a gang of dangerous criminals. Your experience starts with a full mission brief, and then you’ll have to put your wits and teamwork into practice. Your team leader will guide you through all sorts of tasks, including code scrambling, assault courses, initiative exercises, abseiling, climbing and survival techniques and espionage. After a break for lunch with your team, you’ll learn how to build a bivouac shelter and find out about tracking, trailing and spy communication techniques. It’s all brilliant fun, active, hands-on stuff and by the end of the day you’ll have made lots of new friends, discovered loads of talents that you never knew you had, and learnt some new skills that will come in handy - even if you don’t continue in your career as a secret agent!
