D of E Expeditions – Drake and Shackleton Explorers

Congratulations to all of our teams from Drake and Shackleton Explorers for completing their Silver D of E practise expeditions over the past week. We had over 20 members from both units out in the New Forest and on the North Downs.

The Duke of Edinburgh programme gives young people aged 14-24, the opportunity to develop themselves in scenarios they would not normally experience. The fun but challenging expeditions take young people out of their comfort zones, whilst building confidence, teamwork, life skills and friendships.

If your interested in joining us as a youth member, do get in touch. If your interested in joining us as a volunteer, we would also welcome a chat.

Young people first: Safeguarding and Safety in Scouting
