Join WEOAG at Bronze

Hi everyone, thanks for coming along to the meeting this evening. We hope you found it informative and/or fun, if so:

  • Please have a think about what activities you might like to do for your Skill, Physical and Volunteering sections, if you're under 14 remember you can't start these sections until your birthday but it'd still be good to have some ideas now.

  • For a reminder of the timescales you need to fulfill for each section, and for ideas, there's loads of information on the DofE website.

  • Our expedition dates are: Practice Saturday 31st March to Sunday 1st April, Qualifier Friday 4th May (evening) to Sunday 6th May. If these are a problem please let us know at the next meeting - if they are a problem for lots of people we could consider changing them as long as we do so soon!
  • If you've decided you want to join, please download the bronze information pack attached. Please read through it thoroughly with your parents and fill in and return the membership and enrolment forms (pages 5-8) to the next meeting along with your £25 membership.

  • The next meeting is Wednesday 28th September - hope to see lots of you there!

  • Feel free to bring along a few friends but remember we have a maximum of 15 spaces.
Thanks and see you next time!

We are inviting existing members who want to continue after their Silver award as well as people who're interested in joining us for Gold. The aim of the meeting will be for the young people to discuss ideas for Gold expeditions, and form themselves into groups who will later plan, train for and undertake their expeditions together, with help from the leaders.
