5 Complete Duke of Edinburgh Expedition

Report Date 06/11/06

5 members of our Explorer Unit completed their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award / Diamond Chief Scouts Award expedition last weekend.

Shona Hunter, Dan Whiteland-Smith, James Hawley, Tom Clarke and Dan Bailey spent Saturday and Sunday in the New Forest carrying all of their equipment and supplies and camped overnight in the Forest.

The hike is the result of many weeks preparation and practice and they have successfuly completed this element of the two awards. Well Done.
