Before you embark on an Adventurous Journey, whether it’s an Exploration, an Expedition, or and Adventurous Project, it’s critical that you are well-prepared.
Below are the categories for which Duke of Edinburgh expect you to plan.
While you are on your journey with us, we will be looking for evidence that you have considered these things. Importantly, we are here to support you, not test or trick you.
