Bronze DofE Training – May 2025
42 students from Year 10 took part in the Bronze DofE expedition training last weekend, undertaking practical navigation practice, emergency procedures, first aid and route planning.
They were then driven to their campsites, two groups staying at each location with staff. There, they received more training on camp craft, including pitching tents and how to use stoves.
After a pleasant night camping as the weekend’s weather was lovely, they cooked breakfast they then walked back to School on different routes, carrying all their expedition equipment.
Mistakes were made, being those navigational or with their kit, but hopefully the groups learnt from these and this weekend gave them the opportunity to prepare themselves and be ready for their two-day qualifying expedition in June.
