Hi, i've gotten accepted for taking part of the DoFE, and what can i say? I'm really anticipating all the events that are coming, and its all thanks to this video. Kudos to the Staff at DoFE, you have no idea how much this will benefit my future, thank you!

Just finished my Bronze DofE expedition, time for the Physical, Skills and Volunteering! 🙌

[KameronJames]

I've just started my bronze badge, and I signed up for environmental. I have a few questions:
1) What skills should I focus on around the environment? I was thinking orienteering, but that is a bit tricky to do since I live in a city(ish) area.
2) For physical, I was going to do hiking, then help clean up the tracks while I was doing it, but I don't know how I'm going to do that for 3 months. Could I do something environmental thats on a bike/skateboard or something?
3) for volunteer work, I was going to go around different schools, and help them with their gardening and maybe teach students about the environment, but the problem is that I still go to school. (Maybe I could do zooms with them during my lunch break, or film videos, and ask for a video of the classes back? but I don't know.)
4) My physical rec was going to be biking the A20, but thats less than 3 days/2 days 1 night. I was thinking of changing it to orienteering, but I don't know much about it. I was also thinking of signing up to a camp during the holidays, if that was in the green zone?
Sorry if this comment is so big, I just wanted to ask my fellow Bronze badges, if any of you guys have any ideas!
Apart from that, I'm incredibly excited to start my journey!!

How does the volunteering hours work-should we have to cover weekly an hour for 3 months or 12 hours of volunteering covered in a week is acceptable?

[yfk.abcdefghijk]

Definitely signing the form now! Im just wondering how much would the total be (including equipment)

[brookejones]

Can you do different volunteering types each week (e.g litter picking one week and then something the other week) or do you have to stick to the same type ?

[quitsorry]

Is swimming allowed for the physical part?

[catsoverhumans]

What are some other examples that would count as a skill? I'm really intrested and good at cooking but not sure how to incorporate that into the program

Do you have to pay for the expedition? If so, how much is it?

Do you have to be quite sporty to do this?

[JosephDingle-hdnj]

Join sea cadets and you get to basically do it for free 😂 (some fees)
