What can I do for my Skills and Physical section for Duke Of Edinburgh Award?

Question

I've got my Volenteering section sorted-Helping with a club for under 13's but I don't know what to do for Skill or Physical!

I want to do something exciting and different, I wanted to do Rock climbing and Photography but their too expensive.

I've read the list of the website but nothing appeals.

Any Ideas..?

Answer 1

Dinghy sailing or archery?

Neither are expensive as most clubs have equipment for beginners

Answer 2

I did bronze duke of Edinburgh last year, and I did badminton for the physical section. I think I put down something like "to improve while playing games" or something similar to that lol. It doesn't really matter what you put that much. Have fun doing Duke of Edinburgh, it's really fun! :D
