Would like to know what "skills,public services and physicals " your teens chose for D of E ?

[fakeblonde]

DD 1 dances a lot- i mean she actually teaches ballroom disco and cheerleading in local primary schools.She can only use this as a physical tho not a skill ?
We haven`t been given the list so just looking for ideas on skills-thinking maybe amaetur radio at the mo as her dad is big into that but not her really ?
She swims a lot-but cant use that ?
Cheers x

My group at school (SN though) did making a newspaper (journalism) for Bronze and are learning drumming for their silver.

Swim was on their physical.

DS helped with tennis lessons for his bronze award. Also played tennis, rugby, football, cricket. Don't think he did anything else for DoE.

Dd1 did St John Ambulance, dancing and trampolining. I can't think of anything else she does that would qualify.

Dancing itself is a "physical" but she could use dancing teaching as a "service" if she is not paid for it. For "skill" - could she do any music lessons to complement her dancing?

I wanted mine to learn how to touch type as their skill - they weren't too keen!

My Ds is only 12 but is planning his DofE already. He volunteers helping with cubs and is doing life saving lessons

My DD did Flute Lessons as skill for Bronze, attended an evening French Conversation class for Silver, not sure what she is doing for Gold? Maybe Driving lessons as they are an hour a week.

One of her friends did Driving Lessons for Bronze (off road course!)

Badminton was her Physical for all 3.

Service was at a local nursery for Bronze, and church kids clubs / junior church helper for silver & Gold.
