=Evidence= Until 2009-2010 all evidence had to be put into a record book and signed by Mr Gray. Then The Prince Phillip decided that the best way to reach kids is to use the internet and eDofE was born ! Now you have an account and upload pictures and scan in evidence. Then at the end you can download all the pictures that you uploaded in the forst place and put them together on your computer ( yes thats right you can download everything you already have on your computer or school account.
