I'm jealous. I liked guides so much, but then i had to move and it wasn't the same...i still have a lot of my old stuff though. I loved the camps most of all. Perpetually hungry.

I counted about 600 with my LawStudent name, 4,400 with ARMY101, and about 2,000 on the forum before the old one.

I am doing the Duke of Ed and have gotten my Bronze. I have done all the hours for my silver but I just haven't had time to make up my journal thing for the adventurous journey. And I did my Residential project when I went to Honduras this summer.

I started Duke of Ed a few years ago but totally forgot about it and put it somewhere, no clue where I put the book now. All I needed was a skill, then I could have gotten the bronze/silver. :( University of British Columbia '15

When I was younger I did the brownies and girl guides and pathfinders, but then just got to busy. I made a failed attempt at my bronze level Duke of Ed. However, I just re-registered to start my gold, and because the university I'm going to has it's own club I think I'll be able to stick with it this time. What skills did everyone do when they did their Duke of Ed? I'm still debating what to do. University of Waterloo - Class of 2015

I used to do cubs and scouts until I got involved in competitive sports and music and other stuff. Much more fun in my opinion, doesn't look as good on paper though I guess. But I'd rather live life to the full and I find what I do now more fun. :)

How do you guys get involved? Especially in the Duke of Edinborough thing. I really want to give it a shot at the award but I'm not sure if I have enough time, since it's my last year in high school. I'm I too late? Applied to:
- Western BMOS [Accepted] +(AEO) [Accepted]
- Queen's Commerce
- Schulich iBBA [Accepted]

You're looking at at least 6 months for Bronze, an additional year for Silver, and an additional year and a half for Gold.

Only if I had known this earlier. My friends have already received their Gold awards during the winter. Does it really make you better for Uni applications to note that you achieved the Duke of Ed. award? Applied to:

Does it really make you better for Uni applications to note that you achieved the Duke of Ed. award? It's a long term EC with substantial commitment and skills-building. It's certainly better than saying "I volunteered at a soup kitchen for 10 hours" or "I play hockey once a week." And you get to meet royalty.
