Useful note: Can't find what you’re looking for?  Check a different section. What you believe to be a Skills activity could actually be a Volunteering or Physical activity. For example, playing football is a physical activity, learning to be a football coach is a Skill while coaching others for free is volunteering.

The Expedition section

The Expedition section raises the most queries. Look at the requirements here for clarification.

How do I do my Expedition section if I am in a group (in a school, youth club, ATC, Scouts etc)?

The expedition is usually organised by your DofE Leader or centre's Co-ordinator. They will be able to help you find out what will be happening on the training, practice and qualifying parts of the expedition.

Expeditions for those who are not part of a group ('Independents')
You will need to contact your Licensed Organisation (address in your eDofE account or on our website). You have two options to complete this section:
  1. Become part of another DofE centre/group who's arranging their expedition. Your LO will provide you with details if this option is available in your area.
  2. Join an open expedition which are organised by the DofE Assessor Networks (these are normally events aimed at other independent DofE participants who wish to complete this section). Available opportunities are advertised here.
