WHAT DOES DUKE OF ED MEAN TO ME?
"Duke of Ed has led me to many experiences, which have contributed greatly to my personal development. Participating in physically and emotionally tiring activities with friends and strangers helped me learn more about myself, and how different people and personalities work well with others.
Duke of Ed has allowed me to show commitment to physical, skilful and volunteering activities, which has helped me be more connected with the community, as well as become friends with new, and become closer with old. I have improved in different areas of activities from the commitment, which has been rewarding, even though at times it was hard to stick at something.
What I love the most about Duke of Ed is how it leads to travel, and development of friendships."
