Expedition Resource

We have several pre-planned routes for Bronze expeditions. You may find these useful when planning your own expeditions.

Support and Training

DofE Moray offer an annual Adult Summit in November. This is an opportunity for you get together with other volunteers and to feedback to us the successes and lessons from the Expedition season. It also gives us a chance to exchange ideas on how we can offer young people and volunteers a rewarding DofE experience. 

As a volunteer you can request a support meeting at any time. Please use the contact details below.

There is a range of training courses available, dependent on your role. We have funding available through the Moray DofE Awards Committee. Courses include:

• The e-Induction course is the first step for all our volunteers. This online course provides an overview of DofE and its structure. 
• The Introduction to the DofE classroom based course which covers the ethos and core values of the Award.
• Expedition Assessors and Supervisors Training Course (for those who want to supervise or assess expeditions).
• DofE Expedition Skills, Lowland Leader, Hill and Moorland Leader or other NGB course (for volunteers who help with expeditions, especially expedition supervisors and assessors). 
• First Aid Training.
• Child Protection, Diversity and Inclusion.

We will publish details of training courses on this web page and e-mails on a regular basis. If you would like to know more about specific training courses please contact the DofE Office using the contact details below.

If you are just starting out with DofE and interested in playing a more active role in expeditions, then we recommend the DofE Expedition Skills course. We will try to organise a course annually. Details of future courses sent to Centre Coordinators and can also be found on DofE Opportunity Finder for Adults.
