Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Qualifier

In March, Glenalmond pupils successfully completed their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Qualifying Expedition in the stunning surroundings of Callander and Aberfoyle, at the gateway to the Trossachs.

Six groups undertook a variety of activities, including canoeing, walking, and cycling, navigating through diverse and often challenging terrain. The expedition tested their stamina, teamwork, and navigation skills, offering a rewarding and memorable experience.

A key part of the challenge was the overnight stay on the shores of Loch Venachar, where pupils demonstrated their ability to set up camp, cook outdoors, and support one another – all vital components of the DofE programme.
