The Ingleborough District Explorer Team’s initiative to introduce a Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme for older Scouts and Explorers is a fantastic move to promote personal development and employability skills. To successfully implement this program, appointing a dedicated scheme manager is essential; this individual will collaborate with Scout leaders and a Scout assessor to provide training, oversee activities and ensure the smooth running of the scheme.
Covering Volunteering, Physical, Skills, and Expedition sections, the scheme will help young people develop resilience, teamwork and problem-solving abilities - key skills for their future education and careers - while also enriching their university applications and CVs, making participation highly valuable.
Can you help? You don’t have to be a member of Scouts at the moment, it may be you have just retired and have the time to manage this project or possibly you are interested in sports, community impact or outdoor pursuits.
