The DofE main website offers a wealth of useful information online to support participants.
Below are some their pages and videos you may find particularly helpful.
DofE provides lists of lots of ideas for each of the sections on this comprehensive page.
If you are considering an activity that is not on these lists, please check with the DofE Manager who can help you find out if it is appropriate for a particular section.
Use this if you want support with accessing eDofE
For each level of the award, you should keep a log for your volunteering, physical and skill sections as you go along. This provides a record of what you have done; it is the core evidence that will support your section. Use the DofE Activity Log or create your own version which covers the same information.

Make sure you keep up to date logging the evidence of all your hard work on your sections; this will support your assessor's final report and make it easy for the verifier to approve your sections.
As you finish each section, remember to ask your assessor for that section to write your report.
There are two wasy an assessor can write your report:
1) a paper report using the DofE templates. The templates are in your welcome pack, or can be found in the DofE resource centre. (links above also)
2) an online report which is automatically added to your eDofE account. The portal for this is easy to Google or can be found here
Remember to tell them:
1) which level of award (Bronze/Silver/Gold)
2) which section
3) your DofE number
4) your EXACT dates for that section
