Volunteering, learning a new skill, improving in a sport . . . three of the four ingredients for the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme at Bronze and Silver levels.

If these sound like targets you could achieve, and you fancy spending a few weekends walking and camping, then DofE is for you.

"It requires commitment, enthusiasm, teamwork . . . and a good sense of humour".  

The Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme has been highly respected by colleges, universities and employers for many years - candidates with the award have shown they have extra qualities on top of their academic achievements and have improved prospects.
