duke of edinburgh award- help!

clairec79

My two teens both do volunteer work,

One is a St John cadet and helps out at Badgers (the little ones) - she started doing that for her Duke of Edinburgh award

My son is involved with kickboxing and helps with the 4-7year olds twice a week

My friend's son is volunteering at the local Junior Parkrun. If there isn't a junior one near you there will likely be a senior one, and it's a great thing to volunteer for

When my son did it a few years back he volunteered at a local charity shop, he loved it, and is still friends with the other D of E volunteer who worked there.

We have a Young Leader in Rainbows. She started with us earlier this year as a DofE volunteer and has decided to stay with us. She's a valued member of our team.

If interested, your daughter can volunteer on this link and her local unit should be in touch shortly:

For your daughter's information, Rainbows are aged 5-7, Brownies are aged 7-10, and Guides are aged 10-14. I currently run all three, and love it. PM me if you have any questions about Guiding and I'll do my best to answer them.

My daughter volunteered at our local Boys Brigade for her bronze and silver and still does 3 years on, any sort of BB, Scouts, Brownies etc are fabulous with young volunteers I've found.
