Earning Promotions

There are three ranks in the History Detectives program: Sleuth, Investigator and Detective.

Four or five activities are listed for each rank.  A promotion is earned each time three of those activities are successfully completed.

Each child chooses the three activities they wish to complete for each promotion.  Rewards are received upon promotion.

Museum staff may add activities to incorporate special events and new exhibits within the museum.

To receive the final promotion and be recognized as a History Detective, a child must have completed nine activities (3 per rank).  At least one of each of the following must be included in those nine activities:

  • Scavenger Hunt

  • Museum Site Visit

  •  An original piece of writing

  • Family Tree
