The five sections completed covered volunteering in the local community, participating and improving in an area of sport and physical activity, developing practical and social skills and personal interests as well as planning, training and completion of a practice adventurous expedition in Wales and a fully assessed adventurous expedition in the Lake District. Finally, Alex completed an overseas residential in the United States of America and participated in the Camp America scheme. </p> <p class=style2> The presentation ceremony is a celebration and recognition of Alex s achievements in completing his Gold Duke of Edinburgh programme. The ceremony is a unique event and a fitting culmination to mark the hard work, determination and perseverance required to successfully achieve the Gold Award. </p> <p class=style2> During the ceremony, the Earl of Wessex addressed Alex and the other recipients and congratulated them for successfully completing the Award. The presentation of the Gold Award to Alex was made by the actor Simon Callow. </p> <p class=style2> Alex said of his experience  the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme has been an amazing journey that has proven challenging both mentally and physically. I feel privileged to have been a participant as the award has taught me the true value of being rewarded for hard work. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I made great friends along the way. I highly recommend the scheme for anyone who wants to push themselves to limit and feel a sense of achievement after doing so . </p> <p class=style2> Alex has now returned to 2427 (Biggin Hill) Squadron as a Civilian Instructor and member of the Squadron staff and is using his experience and skills that he gained himself as a cadet to help the new cadets on the Squadron develop their leadership skills and experiences, including the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme. </p> </div> <div id="Layer4" style="position: absolute; left: 210px; top: 610px; width: 325px; height: 400px; z-index: 4"> <span style='font-size:10.0pt'> <img src="../images/2427_DofE2011.JPG" width="325" height="400" align="middle" id="_x0000_i1025"> </span> </div> <div id="Layer1" style="position: absolute; left: 19px; top: 1020px; width: 775px; height: 26px; z-index: 1; vertical-align: middle"> <p class=style8 align=center style='text-align:center'> <a href="../SqnNewsSub.html" target=mainFrame><span style='font-size:10.5pt'>Back to Squadron News </p> </div> </body> </html>
