Our Silver DofE group completed their practice expedition this week. Humidity and hills are always a tough combination, but the group showed great resilience and pushed through. Great effort, well done! #article29 @OutdoorBraes @BraesHigh

Huge well done to everyone who passed their expeditions this term! 🥳 Your reports will be uploaded over the next few weeks so all you need to do to finish the award is make sure your other sections are complete. Happy Holidays! @OutdoorBraes @BraesHigh #Article29

@Dollar_Academy @DofE @DofEScotland Stunning pictures, well done!

Well done to both groups who passed their expedition yesterday.🥳 Such a positive attitude from everyone across the two days - nothing (like the heat ☀️) phased you! It was also lovely to see how you all bonded as a group too. Smashed it! 💪 @BraesHigh @OutdoorBraes #article29

Our final S4 Bronze groups organising their meal plans & kit for their assessment expedition next week. (It appears one group will be bringing lots of marshmallows! 🧐) Excellent communication & collaboration shown in this planning stage! 👍 @BraesHigh @OutdoorBraes #article29

Day 2: After the group FINALLY left the campsite (cooking bacon took a long time this morning!) they walked up two more hills on their route out. Huge well done on passing your qualifying expedition, you've been a brilliant group! 🥳 @BraesHigh @OutdoorBraes #RRSA #Article29

Day 1 of the assessment expedition done. Hot conditions can be very challenging but the group did so well with lots of sunscreen and water throughout the day, good drills! @BraesHigh @OutdoorBraes

The first of our S4 Bronze expeditions is underway and Mr Gowan's @BraesChemistry is all set to observe the group on their travels! 🥾🏕☀️ @BraesHigh @OutdoorBraes #Article29

Well done to another of our S3 Bronze groups on their practice walk yesterday. Great teamwork and lots of fun, stone skimming was a highlight! The walk was rescheduled due to your big rugby game, so wishing you the best of luck on your match today! @BraesHigh @OutdoorBraes #DofE

This morning, we were delighted to be hosted at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, in his first engagement with DofE participants since the title was conferred. #YouthWithoutLimits #DofE #YouthVoice
