DofE

We work with schools all over London, the south east and further afield providing Bronze, Silver and Gold DofE Expeditions and training.

DofE Bronze Award

Bronze DofE Award is the starting point in the DofE journey and an introduction to expedition skills. It gives young people the opportunity to explore and be inspired by the outdoors with their peers.

DofE Silver Award

DofE Silver Award is the opportunity for young people to further develop their relationship with the outdoors and progress their expedition skills in a more challenging environment.

DofE Gold Award

Gold DofE Award is the most challenging but awe-inspiring expedition experience. Undertaken in remote wild country and with minimal adult intervention, young people will fully experience the outdoors.
