I did bronze and silver about 3 years ago so its all fresh in my memory. I’m 18 now. It was absolutely brilliant and is well worth doing.

If you hate walking then it’s probably not for you. The skills, service and physical recreation aspects are quite easy but a bit too long. However the expedition was great. It was like an extended camping trip with all my friends going. We would stay up till 3am and then wake up early and trek down a huge hill to get some water.

It’s a great experience and you are guaranteed to leave it with life long memories. You can also add it to your CV and university application since it shows that you can work in a team and are committed. Good Luck with it.

I’m 49 now

It was ok, particularly liked the camping trip but never completed the rest as I left school and got a job

The “Weather” was terrible
