I am currently doing my Bronze award and i only just returned from my expodition. I was wondering about other peopls experiences with there DOE Awards (Bronze, Silver or Gold)
I don't think this is done outside of the UK so for other people it is literally a activity award where we volunteer, do physical, do skills and expos.

Regards
Foxy Smile

ive done bronze, and am going to progress on to silver soon, most probs doing the expidition in easter, then hopefully doing gold next summer with my mates. [knocking in nijmagen in between with a bit of luck] Big Grin

i did it through cadets as well, you just have to walk lol, was a great laugh i must say

for anyone who doesnt know for bronze you have to walk a certain distance [which i dont know] over 2 days, do something like 20 hours of community service, do 6 sporting seesions and have learnt a skill for a period of 6 months or so.

silver is more, and gold more still [50 miles over 5 days, and in mountainous regions which makes it much harder]

all in all its great fun Big Grin
