I have been doing the DofE programme since year 9 and it has been an amazing time learning how to do new things such as drawing or learning how to plan your next meals for a few days, plus the consequence of not packing enough or too much during expeditions. I am now past halfway for the silver award and am looking forward to be doing my gold award next.
