Description
- For ages 15+*
- Takes place over at least 12 months – if the young person is new to DofE – or six months if they’ve already completed their Bronze award
- Young people choose a physical activity and a skill to focus on: developing one for three months and the other for six months
- They take on a volunteering opportunity for six months
- They go on an expedition for three days (including two overnight stays) in open country terrain
- Their achievements link directly to the Chief Scout’s Diamond Award (Explorers and Network)
* If a young person isn’t 15 yet, but is in the school year in which their peer group turns 15, they may still be able to start. All activities must be completed by the young person’s 25th birthday.
