Your Duke of Edinburgh residential is about challenging yourself, embracing new experiences and having fun with new people.
It is a key part of your Gold Award where you can explore something new
.
During your residential, you’ll be in a new environment, normally surrounded by people you’ve never met. Together, you’ll take on challenges and work as a team to sail our yacht. You can hone the skills you’ve developed through your hobbies or dive into a new experience, possibly even gaining qualifications on the way.
Through completing the Residential section, you’ll experience real growth. Hopefully you’ll:
Develop your self-confidence
Work on your independence
Accept responsibility for yourself and others
Develop communication skills and effective coping mechanisms.
Your residential is more than just an activity week. It’s a chance to discover new passions and make memories that will last a lifetime.
