== Duke Of Edinburgh Award Scheme ==

This is run at [[BRGS]] by a diminutive scotsman known as [[Mr Gray]]. He organises all [[DofE expeditions]] to places across Britain and, more recently, to Europe. Very often the level of organisation that goes into these expeditions means that he has to forgoe any actual teaching.

The DofE award scheme often attracts many people (fresh from Y9 Camp) with the thought that DofE is easy, however despite the physical difficulty of the expeditions it seems to be the more prolonged commitments which prove hardest to complete. Leading to a large dropout rate between Bronze and Silver. This is not the same between Silver and Gold as participants realise what is required and often the draw of a more interesting expedition helps keep the less enthusiastic participants eg DofE Gold '06 went to Bavaria in Germany for a wet but enjoyable expedition.

 Despite the physical difficulty of the expeditions, it seems to be the more prolonged commitments which prove hardest to complete. This leads to a large dropout rate between Bronze and Silver. However, this doesn't happen between Silver and Gold, since there are on average 1.5 Silver participants, and they don't want to let their other half down.

-Motives are very important in this award - simply wanting it "because it'll look good on my UCAS form/CV" isn't good enough!
