Adventurous Journey Section: Helpful Tips
For the Adventurous Journey section in the Online Record Book, we have created a document that walks you through how to enter in all of the information and the steps that need to be done in order to complete this section. It is important for you to know that you have to fill in the information for both the practice journey and qualifying journey, have them approved by your Award Leader as activities, and then after you have gone on your trip, you need to go back into each of those activities and fill in the Observations under the REPORT tab. This is also where you will send that activity for approval by your assessor.
The document to help you through the adventurous journey section is available on our website: www.dukeofed.org/mb and it is called HELPFUL TIPS FOR FINISHING YOUR ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY IN ORB.

AWARD LEADERS NEEDED

We are looking for people who are interested in being Online Award Leaders.

What is an Online Award Leader? It is someone who oversees a group of participants but does that through email and phone. You are not meeting with them in person but instead following their progress and encouraging them through email and phone conversations. If you are a Gold Award Achiever and/or someone over the age of 20 and you are interested in being an Award Leader for current participants, please email Lindsay and let her know. Email her at: lstovel@dukeofed.org
We will be having training sessions this summer and setting up Virtual Open Award centers to support independent participants.
UPCOMING SILVER CEREMONY

There will be a Silver Ceremony this fall, likely in late November. If you are working on your Silver Award and nearing completion, please be sure to submit all of your required documents by the end of September so that we can get your Award approved prior to the Ceremony. Please remember it takes a couple of weeks to get an Award approved.
