Choose the in-person or virtual option

DofE could be the challenge you are looking for – raising your self-esteem, aspirations, developing your skills and opening doors to employment! North Lincolnshire DofE is here to inspire, engage and motivate you through your award.

Start your DofE award at any point in the year and make connections and friends outside of your school. We deliver the Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards.

The programme encompasses the entire award process, from training through to completion. We guide participants through the award sections, sign-off progress, deliver practical training, and run expeditions each year. Sessions take place in Scunthorpe or virtually via Teams.

Participants can start their award immediately after registration. The booking confirmation email provides instructions on how to begin. Let’s start a new adventure together!

Young people can register anytime and begin working on their sections immediately. Monthly virtual sessions start in September 2026, with expeditions taking place in Spring/Summer/Autumn 2027. These will cover the same themes as the open sessions but hands on learning will be limited. It is therefore important that virtual attendees attend the face to face training day session at Primrose Hill.

A Teams link will be emailed before each virtual session.
