How We Run Duke Of Edinburgh

We have an active and challenging Duke of Edinburgh Award programme run alongside and sharing some events with the other local Units (Brocks and Barton in particular).

We had 8 undertake Bronze in 2009, a great achievement for a brand new Unit.

We hope to have 6 Silver candidates in 2010/11

Our leaders are committed to the ethos of The Award, and ensure that our Explorers not only “tick the boxes” for their Awards, but learn skills and attitudes that will equip them mentally and physically for life. It is probably fair to say that we don’t see DoE as ‘just something you do to put on your personal statement in the 6th Form’, and we hope that our approach helps young people develop and become confident and self-sufficient.
