Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) is a voluntary, non-competitive programme of activities for anyone aged 14-24. Completing a DofE Award gives young people the opportunity to experience new activities or develop existing skills, and works well alongside some of the top scouting awards available.
To see how the scheme works, and fits well with scouting, take a look at the DofE Scout Association leaflet
