We chose Moray to end our DofE Challenge for a very particular reason. The DofE Award was inspired by the Moray Badge, founded by Kurt Hahn at Gordonstoun School.
We're really excited to celebrate the Scottish roots of the DofE Award by travelling through Moray on our DofE Challenge. You can see these roots celebrated at the DofE Commemorative Stone project in Fochabers. The stones mark each of the six decades of the DofE. The whole project was run by local DofE participants. Be sure to visit!
Lots of Moray participants are taking up a DofE Challenge. Iain Sword, who collected his Gold Award at Holyrood Palace earlier this summer, is one of the them.
Iain's come a long way as part of his DofE. He has High Functioning Autism and he said that doing his DofE has "definitely built up my confidence and helped me in
social situations in general."
For his DofE Challenge, Iain choose walking the West Highland Way.
