Duke of Edinburgh skills and volunteering ideas? What did you do do?

just Looking for some ideas for this. My dc doesn’t learn a musical instrument and we don’t want to start lessons just for this. So not sure which skill we could do. He likes outdoorsy stuff and scouts type activities.

for volunteering I am thinking about maybe getting him to ask the local junior parkrun to ask if he could volunteer regularly there. Or he could volunteer at the local beaver group.

just wondered if anyone else had some other ideas their dc did

duke of Edinburgh is something he really wants to do. I know it isn’t rated highly on cv but he just wants to do it

Skills: My three have (1) learned to drive, (2) learned to touch type (on-line course), and (3) learned to code.

Volunteering: 2 helped out at local clubs (sports and art). 1 did whale-counting online.

The forms aren't arduous so it's not too much to ask of someone, if you have actually volunteered.

Duolingo for skill perhaps? I know 2 kids who have done this
