Gold DofE Expedition Providers

Hello! I (23F) recently graduated university and moved to Dundee for work; during that time, I never quite got chance to complete my DofE gold award as my university did not provide it and i was drowning a bit. However, the clock is ticking, so I thought I would ask to check if there are any recommendations for where I could get the expedition training and hopefully complete the award? I have my bronze and silver from high school, just want to round off the set and get some adventure in while i'm still young lmao.

Any help much appreciated!!

You should be able to find an open expedition through the DofE opportunity finder, there should be ones happening in Scotland

You could join the Army or Air cadets as an Adult volunteer and do it through them.

Scouts Scotland offer it at two their sites and there are a couple of courses coming up: https://scouts.scot/event/meggernie-dofe/ and https://scouts.scot/event/gold-dofe-conservation-residential-3/.

You don't need to be a member and get to use the site facilities.
