“ I was really nervous before starting my expedition, but the instructors were so helpful. I really enjoyed the experience. I am so proud to have completed my expedition and have made some new friends.”

‘ I couldn’t do the dates my school had set for my Silver, initially I was disappointed not to be doing the expedition with my friends. I had so much fun on my expedition and got the chance to be in a completely new area, it was so beautiful. I think doing an open expedition makes you stand out more as you have to be more independent.”
