Choosing activities
There is a huge choice of activities that count towards DofE programmes. You can select practically any activity you want – as long as it’s legal and morally acceptable!
• Activities are placed in specific sections for a reason.
• You need to choose activities you are going to enjoy.
• Activities could be something that you are already doing or perhaps one you’ve always wanted to try.
• You need to identify an appropriate assessor.
