The Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) adventurers recently embarked on an exhilarating silver practice expedition in the breathtaking region of Mai Chau.

The Duke of Edinburgh's International Gold Award expedition this year takes place in South Korea and involves a hike along the mountainous ridges south-east of the capital Seoul.

The International Award is open to all young people from the ages of 14-24, and is a non-competitive, non-formal education programme specialising in leadership training.

This year is the 60th Anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award for Young People. Initially only for boys and based in a single Scottish school, the Award has now spread across the world to over 140 countries, and over 300,000 young people begin their Award every year.
