DofE Bronze Walking is about learning the skills of navigation and campcraft from scratch in a fun and accessible way by working as a team to complete your qualifying expedition successfully. It also serves as excellent preparation for the more challenging Silver and Gold levels.

Our offer is flexible, so speak to us if you have your own group equipment or you plan to do the training in school yourself. Likewise, if participants need personal equipment.

The training includes:

  • Introduction to navigation
  • Basic first aid
  • Menu planning
  • Route planning
  • Kit and rucksack packing
  • Identifying an aim

Practice expedition includes:

  • Kit and rucksack check
  • Campcraft (putting up and striking tents)
  • Safe cooking on Trangia stoves
  • Emergency procedures
  • Navigation training
  • Remote supervision
  • Debrief in preparation for the qualifying expedition

Qualifying Expedition:

Participants demonstrate the skills they have learned over a two-day assessment remotely supervised by a qualified assessor. The assessor writes up a report for each participant which is then uploaded to their eDofE account by Off Grid Adventures.

DofE Manager, Hazel Grove High School

The DofE Team at HGHS have been really impressed by your professionalism, organisation and extensive experience. The DofE Award became so popular at our school that it wasn't feasible to lead expeditions in-house anymore, we needed more support for the larger numbers, and we were very conscious about finding a good AAP to work with, you fit the bill perfectly. We were really impressed with the organisation of each expedition and how closely instructors monitored the students until they were ready to be more independent.
