Student quote (Gold) 

"Lots of people think DofE is just about walking and camping, but it's far more than that. I've never had an expedition that hasn't helped with life skills in one way or another, be it first aid, cooking, or just general teamwork and leadership. It's always been enjoyable (even when it's zero visibility and raining) and was a great use of my free time to give something back to my community, have fun, and learn in a non-academic environment. "
