A huge well done to the pupils from @ExtendedNac on passing their #Bronze @DofE @DofEScotland Expedition in the Clyde Muirsheil hills and Ayrshire Coastal Path. Battling through the elements for 2 days 💨☔️🌦️⛺️and now well underway to achieving full Bronze! 💪🏼 🏆

Huge well done to our @ArdAcademy ‘Golden Girls’ on passing their @DofE Gold qualifying expedition through the Arran mountains last week. Long days, chilly nights, roaring stags and NO midges! What a journey! ⛺️⛰️🚶🏻‍♀️🚶‍♀️‍➡️💪🏼🎒 @DofEScotland #IAmDofE #YouthWithoutLimits

A fantastic few days in the Trossachs this week. 2 @DofE Silver teams from @ArdrossanHub passing their qualifying exped & an @ArdAcademy Gold group completing their Gold practice, ready for Arran in 2wks. All in quite ‘changeable’ conditions. Well done teams! 💪🏼⛺️🚶🏻‍♂️‍➡️🎒

Well done to our 2 Gold teams from @Greenwood_Acad who completed their @DofE qualifying exped on Arran this week! Soaring temps ☀️🥵, scratchy midge bites 🦟😩 and smelly boots all round 🥾😷. They all done amazingly well (as did Niko dog… 🐶).

Our @DofE Bronze group and staff had a successful first day in sunny Arran for their expedition ⛺️ sleep tight, hope the midges don’t bite and safe home tomorrow ❤️

Our 1st @DofE Gold Expedition this year saw pupils from @Greenwood_Acad head to the Galloway Hills for their practice. Joined by a @dumfrieshigh pupil (& Penny & Niko 🐶🐶) - group did amazing in some pretty wet & midge-infested conditions! Qualifier on Arran in Aug next! ☔️⛺️🦟
