Thirty-five students participated in their Silver Award practice expedition from 18th to 20th May 2023 around Reculver, St Nicholas and Chislet and then their qualifying expedition from 29th June to 1st July 2023 around Sandwich, Nonnington and Bekesbourne.
These participants are now in the process of completing their award by uploading evidence of their volunteering, physical or skills activities and getting their assessors to write a report to verify their activities. An example of the variety of activities being undertaken are events management, scout leader, woodland upkeep and litter picking for volunteering, climbing, running,, squash and tennis for physical and driving, quilting, sign language and cooking for skills.
