QuoteDuring his recent trip to Scotland with the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh found time to join in the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of the award that bears his name. Prince Philip, who is patron of the organisation met and chatted with some Gold Award winners and also staff from the Duke of Edinburgh scheme in Scotland.

Barry Fisher, who is Director of the DofE in Scotland welcomed the Prince and said "For many young people being able to push yourself past boundaries and overcome challenges is an essential part of personal development – inspiring confidence, skills and knowledge. That's what The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is all about."
