It is with great sadness that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

He has been a great inspiration for some many young people during his lifetime, and especially within Scouting through his Duke of Edinburgh award programme, which gives young people the chance to make friends, have fun and build confidence in an empowering, exciting and non-competitive learning environment.

In the UK alone, a phenomenal 6.7 million young people have benefitted from taking on the personal challenge of a DofE Award so far.

Today, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award charity is calling for anyone involved in the DofE over the decades – including alumni and volunteers – to get in touch and share their DofE stories and memories at DofE.org.
