Duke of Edinburgh Progress Report: What is the Duke of Edinburgh Award?

Hello all, this is an reupload of something I wrote a while ago that seems to have been lost in the warp! It’s a short one talking about what exactly DofE is and what I’m planning to do.

What is The Duke of Edinburgh Award (DofE)?

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a scheme created by the late Prince Phillip to encourage young people to take up new skills and hobbies. There are three categories to complete: volunteering, physical and skills, and there is also an overnight expedition. You have to do an hour a week of each of the categories, for either three or six months. In my case, this means that I'm going to be completing at least one hour of Warhammer hobby time each week, for the next six months. I've got to log all my progress, and submit it to be assessed at the end of the six months. This is partly why I've created this blog, as a way to help me keep evidence of what I'm doing. 

What's the plan?

As I mentioned above, I'll be doing at least an hour a week of Warhammer, and logging evidence that I've done it. The plan is to create  an Armies on Parade entry for 2021, themed around late-Heresy Sons of Horus, as the start of Armies on Parade should roughly coincide with the end of my six months.

That just about finishes all I wanted to go over, so until next time,
