The Bronze Group is currently working towards achieving their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh through Broughton High School. To achieve this award, the candidates have been organising and completing four disciplines: - Service, Skill, Physical Activity and an Expedition.

The Qualifier Expedition

This year our qualifed volunteers have organised the Qualifier Expedition in April. This Expedition will focus on team building, comminication, navigation, route planning, first aid, preparing food, walking and health/safety - and having some FUN!

In order to take part in the qualifier expedition, the candidates have already gone through rigorous traning sessions. This included two practice expeditions, which involved each candidate carrying all their kit for two days walking and a night under the canvas. The candidates have also spent a day in the hills testing their navigation skills and waterproofs (it was extremely wet!). We are now confident that each candidate is well prepared for the qualifier expedition... and should pass with flying colours!
