What is the DofE Gold Residential? 

To complete your Gold DofE you must undertake a residential, for this section you need to undertake a shared activity or specific course with people you do not know, in a residential setting away from home and in an unfamiliar environment.

This section offers a high degree of flexibility but it must be done with an organised group. You must join it individually and not with an existing group of friends or as part of a school or youth group trip.

Your activity can be anything that provides you with an opportunity for broadening your interests and experiences. It is ideal for trying something new.
