A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year
North Down County Girlguiding Duke of Edinburgh is a unit which meets as and when required to support and facilitate members of Girlguiding UK in the local area to complete the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Online and remote support for units and individuals as well as in person group support to groups is provided by our unit with edofe entries, uploading of evidence required in the four (or five) sections, entrance onto the award, evidence, section and award approval and any queries Guide or Ranger members may have.
The responsibility for this support is transferring to individual Guide and Ranger units, rather than the current more centralised model and we are winding down our activities.
