Please note that due to unforeseen circumstances with our current suppliers, there will be delays for young people who enrolled from mid-November 2024 in receiving their Welcome Packs.

We are working hard to ensure that all participants waiting for a pack will receive it early in the New Year. In the meantime we encourage participants to access the digital copies of the Welcome Packs below. DofE discount cards can be requested through eDofE accounts.

Download digital copies of the packs here.

The DofE  sends Welcome Packs directly to new participants’ homes when they register their address on their eDofE profile.

For operational reasons, Leaders hand out Welcome Packs to participants who are doing their DofE in the secure estate. For participants who have an overseas home address, packs are sent to their DofE centre, addressed to the participant.

The Bronze, Silver and Gold Welcome Packs each include five main elements:

• Information for participants
• Information for parents and carers
• Assessors’ cards
• A guide to choosing expedition kit and how to get your DofE Card
