Had a good visit to the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme head office in Windsor to talk about the work I’m doing with the scheme and my desire to see the church supporting the scheme. It is always inspirational to see so many young people taking up the challenge and then succeeding – well done to all those who do the scheme.
The scheme always runs in stark contrast to the way young people are portrayed in the media. If you believed what the media tell us you would think that young people just want to get drunk and party (and other things I won’t mention on a website read by church people) but in my experience young people are very different to that image. They like to have fun, don’t we all, but they are also determined to make a difference to the world – we could all learn a great deal from the wonderful young people who undertake the scheme.
It seems that I’m the very first DofE Chaplain ever, I hope it is the start of something bigger than me.
