  • Is this, like, REAL???? um, somehow. I was invited to none other than Buckingham Palace to collect my Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award at the Gold DofE Awards Ceremony! mad mad MAD. There were celebrities there (everyone from Ronan Keating, to Nick from The Apprentice!), as well as so many of you beautiful people! Enjoy a very cool vlog :)
    I really cannot recommend DofE enough. All the levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold!) are bloody tough, but also very rewarding. It inspired me to get into volunteering more, improve my Dutch Skillz, challenge myself both mentally and physically in the expeditions as well as learn to bond with people I didn't really know! DofE is a registered charity, so if you want to take part but can't afford an aspect of it, you can also apply for bursaries!! 🌟www.dofe.org

    Of course she juggled UA-cam, A-levels and a gap year stress whilst still looking so pretty and calm. Congratulations. I only got up to bronze and I had enough. Xx

We got lost on our walk and a turkey flew at us 😭 we also chased sheep and got chased my cows LMFAO I hope ur alright after all those injuries though oml.

      Hey I also did my silver last weekend and it was hell due to the heat! So I totally relate about not sure about wanting to do gold. Maybe ask the people running gold more about it so you know what you're getting yourself into and look into alternate ways of completing it like canoeing or biking or horse riding etc. But I think it's a great experience.

That's what I'm doing as you have until you're 25 to do the walk and you dont even have to walk! You can do canoeing or horse riding or biking etc so you can always take things one step at a time.

    We have something similar in kenya called the Presidents Award. My best friend from london who also did DofE- bronze came and joined us in year 10. She said that PA was much harder as in PA we do the same thing but in much harsher conditions. We camp at local schools each night and have to trek to the schools we were to stay in every day. Just 2 weeks back i did my gold and man that was hard. We trekked 83 kilometres in total and it was alot from having to climb mountains and hills with thorny bushes to flat roads that never seemed to end. I questioned my self several times. From having to cook for ourselves and going to stinky latrines everyday it really made me grateful for what i have. Just wanted to enlighten anyone who was reading this.

    Last year (actually a year ago tomorrow) I went on an expedition to Norway with a group of 21 people. It was run by a company called World Challenge and we went for 10 days. We did exactly the same thing as you by the sounds of it! We canoed for 2 days and hiked for 5. We also had the shovel but we called it Dug, no idea why but that was his name 😂😂😂 I'm going into year 10 next year so I had just finished year 8 when we went and I am just starting my Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award now! I can't wait as Norway was so much fun and I would do anything to have an experience like that again 💜

    Dear Jade, WOW I can't express what an inspiration you are to me. I use to live I Zambia for seven years and I know of a few people that have completed the Duke of Edinburgh challenges. Not only on this video have you inspired me but EVERY single video. I live in Berlin now and the school has been challenging especially with the German and you have pulled me through exam periods and so much more. This is super cheesy, but who cares, I strangely feel I can relate to you so much more than anyone I have come across. I would love to get in contact with you! Keep on what you are doing and I wish you all the best in the world.

    I live in Australia, and did my bronze level Duke of Edinburgh through school last year and finished it this year. Although, my experience was quite a bad one.
    Duke of Ed is a compulsory program for year 9's at my school. Nobody has a choice. This, naturally, made us all dread it. We didn't have the choice, and instead we felt like it was thrust upon us. The school uses it as a way to keep our year level out of trouble, as so many people believe that year 9 is where students 'go bad' or start to rebel. To make matters worst, Year 9 happened to be THE busiest year I have ever encountered. I was a part of 3 school bands and 3 school choirs, two netball teams, which meant two trainings and two games a week, I started voice lessons AND had a lead role in my schools musical. There was only one morning where I wasn't at school at 7:30 and only one afternoon where I had any free time. I also had a lot of health complications, and suffered extreme anxiety throughout the year. Although most of the components of Duke of Ed were already activities I was doing, that extra pressure that I was put under was overbearing. I was made to feel like no matter what I was doing was still not good enough because it wasn't written down on a piece of paper.
    Then the adventurous journey component came along. We completed that earlier this year. It felt like the entire event was shaded in mystery. We all felt like we were being left in the dark in terms of what we had to do and what we were doing on the actual camp. I was so incredibly anxious about the camp that I almost pulled out. I almost abandoned it completely.
    Our camp was a hiking/canoeing camp that lasted four days and three nights. All I can say is that it was..... well...……. an experience. We spent the first 2 days hiking (7km the first day & 10km the 2nd). And the 3rd & 4th days were canoeing, about 10km each day. The problem with that is that it was scorching hot. Mid to high 30's Celsius all four days. We had girls suffering from exhaustion, and one girl suffer from extremely bad heatstroke.
    But the one thing that bought me up each day was looking at the stars each night. I have always been a space nerd, and star gazing has always been my favourite. I do recommend the program to those wishing to go outside your comfort zone. But the thing that I can't stress enough is that TIMING IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! Choose wisely, and try to have fun with it.

    Reality check: DofE does not mean anything (I'm not trying to belittle Jade's achievement, but in the real world nobody cares). I'm personally not a fan of DofE Awards because poor students / students without the support of their school - which is by no means assured - simply do not have the resources to do it. It's a middle class jolly.

This video really inspired me and I have decided to participate in the other levels, thank you so much ahah! xx💜💜💜

    There's DofE here in Lithuania. A few of my classmates have done bronze and/or silver. At first I was kind of interested in doing it but I don't think I'm quite that kind of person.

    Was in a History Open Day at Durham Uni and whoever was doing the presentation said I don’t care if you’ve got a Gold D of E I just want to know why you want to study history. Should have seen the looks on some faces.🤣

    I just finished silver on the duke of York- it doesn’t have gold yet but it’s coming up to it. Duke of York is much easier than DofE as it’s on the computer and teaches you things that you might need later on in life if you would like to start you can do it on

    Just done silver and have to wait until year 12 to do Gold. I'm gonna have to rewatch this during the time I do gold and on the way to the expedition. I agree with the questioning - on our first day of the qualifying silver, like none of our paths were viable, so we took 11 hours 40 minutes to walk and I cried when the day was over

      Rip same, on my bronze trip we read the map wrong and went down a mountain instead of up, on silver animals ate through some of our bags during dinner and ate all our food and peed everywhere and it was completely flooded during gold... Yeah my group was a mess the entire time 😂

    Congratulations! Coming from a guy that likes mountaineering and adventures, I can only say though that D of E is hard. It is hard because first of all, at 16, your bodies are still developing and there is lack of strength in teenagers making it harder to carry the rucks. Everyone adventurous may wish to try but not everyone is built to handle the challenges due to low bodyweight, physically. The teammates with you don't really know team work and not everyone will put out. All of this changes when you become an adult and start really to dive into mountaineering and find the right people but as a young teen, no one knows that this is coming. Also people do die on the D of E (accidents happen due to ill proper planning from the teachers) , and its pointless making it as if it is a simple careless expedition. So you really have to be responsible and be on the lookout where you camp. Just some food for thoughts...
