For your information, Bronze expeditions are two days and one night camping, with at least 6 hours during the daytime for a planned activity (at least three of those hours will include navigation).
To complete the expedition section you must attend an training meeting on a Monday evening, and complete a practice expedition as well as the assessment expedition.
When you sign up for expeditions we will need parent information - first name, surname and email address to create an online payment request. We require payment made online and in full for us to confirm your expedition place.
The cost includes a contribution to the costs incurred by the Youth Service for providing the expeditions. This includes, but is not limited to, administration, compliance with DofE requirements and the Borough’s Policies and Procedures.
