The Scout Association and one of its employees have been referred to police by a coroner for investigation for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice following an inquest into the death of a 16-year-old boy.
Ben Leonard, 16, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, fell 200ft off a cliff while on a Scout trip to North Wales in 2018.
He suffered a serious head injury after the fall at Great Orme in Llandudno on 26 August 2018.
Ben and two friends took a different path to their peers and were unsupervised by Scout leaders who had “lost” the trio.
A jury found Ben was unlawfully killed after a two-month inquest at Manchester Civil Courts of Justice.
