2022 04 Training for DofE at Petworth
Marshalling
Marshalling for Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Petworth
Youngsters
who attend the Sylvia Beaufoy Centre in Petworth had the opportunity to get
involved with The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. Rotarians from The
Midhurst and Petworth Club met Dan Sneller, Manager at The Centre, who sent
them to marshalling posts in support of a training hike undertaken in groups of
4 or 5 in the South Downs for the Bronze and Silver Awards.
Dan had 24 young people walking from Bignor Hill back to Petworth- about 12km. This was their first solo walk, although observed by adults from a distance. Their next challenge will be going to the new forest for a training weekend
