Teenager who died on Scout trip was unlawfully killed, inquest finds
The Scout Association has been referred to police for investigation during an inquest which concluded a teenager who died on a Scout trip was unlawfully killed.
Ben Leonard, 16, suffered a serious head injury when he fell about 200ft at Great Orme in Llandudno, North Wales.
He died while on a trip with the Reddish Explorer Scouts from Stockport, Greater Manchester, on August 26 2018.
Ben and two friends took a different path from other Scouts, unsupervised by any Scout leaders, who had “lost” the trio on the Orme.
