If Leaders are running expeditions for their members to meet the DofE requirements, please make sure that the County DofE Co-Ordinator (Ralph Hansby-Patterson) is informed it is taking place with the required details at least 6 weeks prior to the event!. This doesn't matter if it is a practice or a full test, he must be informed so it can be properly recorded and logged.
The sort of information needed is similar to the Nights Away requirements but also includes more details of personnel, routes to be taken, campsites etc. as per the DofE updated processes.
He can be contacted via this e-mail link -
You'll find information here on how to set up expeditions on the eDofE website.
