My first time camping on my bronze practice and I rember learning about all the types of stoves and equipment and we were about to cook. I proceeded to set up my trangia and turned it on, I accidentally put the wind cover on wrong and ended up spilling methylated spirit all over setting a river of fire off down by our tents. Luckily it was fine as it was damp ground and no equipment was harmed, I still ate and we laugh about it to this date. There is also the time adventuring on our gold award where we found a sheep skull and proceeded to pray around it.

The DofE award scheme is not just about giving you skills its about life, making friends and having fun making you a much more competitive, confident and stronger person
