Well done to our 7 Explorers who passed their D of E Bronze Qualifying Expedition in Ashdown Forest this weekend.
The Bronze Expedition is a two day expedition, with one night spent camping. There should be six hours minimum of activity planned each day, with at least three of these hours journeying.
D of E expeditions teach:
- First aid and emergency procedures
- An awareness of risk and health and safety issues
- Navigation and route planning.
- Campcraft, equipment and hygiene.
- Food and cooking.
- Countryside, Highway and Water Sports Safety Codes.
- Observation recording and presentations.
- Team building.
