Duke of Edinburgh Award

Picture
If you are 14 (or, by agreement with your DofE supervisor, almost 14) you can register for and start on your path to the Duke of Edinburgh award.  You could make a start on the Bronze award in your last 6 months in Scouts before moving to Explorers as many of the requirements go hand in hand with Scouting activities.
