Youth Groups and DofE

Many youth organisations are now involved with the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, which requires expedition experience for all levels. A hill walking expedition usually features in one or more stages of the award for most applicants and we are able to provide award-specific Duke of Edinburgh training and assessment at all levels. We are also able to offer support and assessments for the National Navigation Award Scheme (NNAS) and other awards such as the Walking Group Leader (WGL) and Mountain Leader (ML) Awards.
