Learn about fingerprints and how to identify types of prints! Even though koalas have fingerprints almost identical to ours, your fingerprints are still unique. Scouts (in 6th-12th grade) will learn how to identify the types of prints you have and how they are used by law enforcement versus biometric scanners. Practice taking your fingerprints so you can take a clear set home and learn how to lift those left behind at a crime scene.
