Nope I havn't but well done on your bronze and silver!
I did my bronze but was meant to give the booklet in in like september and I never did so i guess i wont get it :(
yeah they really are, you could send it yourself to your 'borough leader', damnnn id really get talking to them, i think its that they cant be arsed. Me and my mates in my group all given ours in at different times, we all got them back at different times. if you've done it, you can get it signed off.
Have you got everything signed off by the youth club (im assuming) where you did it?
Yeah you can, if you volunteer somewhere else you can just carry on what you did but under a different place, it really wont matter. Mind you, you'd need to get your school to sign off your service (volunteering) still.
Please sign it off I'm begging you or I'll cry.
Trust me, I have cried over Duke of Edinburgh. You will too if you do your gold expedition lol. You can't go up to someone and say can you fake this, but I guess.. idk, its your choice you probably could forge it or say that you finished at this time with no updated signatures and just sign it yourself. Nobody would care, as long as you have something there and well you did do the volunteering part. Why didn't you finish it all?
I started it ages ago, but left for some reason, can't remember why.
I did my Bronze, I really enjoyed it tbh. Enjoyed the camping more than the walking though :P
Did Bronze and then the co-ordinator at school left.
I was gonna do it ages ago but then i just stopped going to the meetings lol :(
Yeahh, spesh when its like 10 people in a 3 man tent, now THAT is fun. I think I'd do it again just for that lol. the walking i loved too, but im weird like that. Im doing a 15 day hike in canada so I get to do all of it again.. oh and a 4 day PRACTICE (which is insane, thats the gold real expedition tbh lol).
Bad times, one of the schools around here had that problem. I was told I could've replaced him but... not a good idea, I'm not that good x]
LEAH you horror ;/
lol coincidentally I got a text from my sister saying I get my silver certificate on 30th march in newton abbot, yay :D I might be in the newspaper again pow pow.
Got gold lol :$ Went to St James' palace and got my award last year.
lol.... There are two award ceremonies each year. The winter one is at St James' palace and the summer one is at Buckingham Palace. I think there are seperate ceremonies for the north/south so you should be going to one in London.
We were seperated into four rooms inside the palace and there was a celebrity for each room (we had that charlie guy who rode the motorbike accross Africa with Ewan McGreggor) then basically you get the certificate from them and a member of the royal family (I had price Edward) talks to you and congratulates you in groups of like 10 people. Was actually more personal than I expected.
By the time I finish my gold I'll probably be in Edinburgh so I might be having mine at Edinburgh castle? correct me if I'm wrong. :P But thats awesomeeee, I guess they must take it really seriously. Its a shame some councils dont support it as much as they should.
Edinburgh!? You don't live there do you?! :S
I have silver and bronze, it was a bit of a bonus really, I didn't even realise the stuff I was doing entitled me to them haha
Got my Silver around 2 years ago ;D. Made us hike and camp on the coldest and wettest day here, was very homosexual.
I thinking about applying for the bronze award. Only prob is, you have to pay :P
Its not much, like a tenner? I mean youve gotta buy your boots and your food for the expedition but apart from that its basically all free :S
If I was to jump in at gold award, roughly what would I have to do to get it (I understand it'd take 2 years but i'm okay with that).
You need a service (helping the community in some way), a skill (learn an instrument or something), a sport (couple hours a week, need to make an effort) and then you do training weekends and like a week long expedition "on your own" (just you and whoever you're doing it with).
I was going to do gold but only really cause I wanted it for my uni application. Then I realised that having not done silver, I'd be doing 18 months of services, skills etc so by the time I actually got the award I'd have long since applied. Also when doing it through our school they charge you major $$$. It is an excellent thing to have on a CV though, allegedly the things employers value most in terms of extra curricular stuff.
Service is easy, if you have to go to some sort of training/meeting for your expeditions then just offer to help 'train' people doing bronze/ silver.
I'm going to be doing my Bronze expedition via the Air Cadets next month, so it should be fun!
bronze, silver and half of gold, i was ill on the day i was suppost to cycle round northern ireland for 4 days LOL
If a little bit of cash is all that's stopping you, I would recommend going for it. I really regret not doing D of E myself.
You do know u can do it any age?!?!?
