Mar 01 - Participants Set Off This Weekend For Duke Of Edinburgh Bronze Award Adventurous Journey Section
This weekend a group of 41 participants from the Open Award Centre will be heading to Jimena de la Frontera; to undertake the qualifying venture for the Adventurous Journey Section of their Bronze Award programmes.
The participants will carry out activities such as camp craft, undertaking research for group projects, map reading and navigation as well as hiking 24km in the area.
The participants will be self-sufficient during the venture, carrying all their equipment, food and tents and, will be spending the night under canvas.
A spokesperson said: "Experienced leaders from the Open Award Centre will be supervising the participants throughout the weekend to ensure their safety.
"In addition, Accredited Assessors from the national Adventurous Journey Panel shall assess the participants’ abilities to work as a team in achieving the Award's requirements for the Adventurous Journey.
"This will be the final venture for these participants before many (and we certainly hope all!) progress onto the Silver Award for their next challenge.
"The Award would like to thank the Bland Group and Toyota Stockholdings (Gibraltar) Limited for their continued support with the transportation requirements without which many of the ventures would not be possible.
"Also, a huge thanks to the Award’s adult volunteers for giving up their free time over the last few months to help train and prepare the participants for this part of the programme as well as accompanying them over the weekend."
