The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (commonly abbreviated to DofE), is the generic name for a youth awards programme founded in the United Kingdom in 1956 that has since expanded to 140 other countries.

The awards recognise adolescents and young adults for completing a series of self-improvement exercises. The Lord-Lieutenant, or if he is unavailable, a Deputy Lieutenant, may be invited to present the awards to those who have achieved them within Kent.
