DofE Expedition Assessors/Supervisors

Qualifying as an Expedition Assessor/Supervisor

To become an accredited Expedition Assessor and Supervisor, you need to hold a full Scout role including a DBS check (Non-member roles are not sufficient). We add all qualified individuals to our County DofE Sub-Team to ensure that this requirement is met, and so that we can easily contact everyone that is qualified.

  1. Contact the County DofE Lead (contact here) to let them know you are planning to become accredited. If you do not have an eDofE account, you will need to request one so you can access the training.
  2. Complete the Expedition Assessors / Supervisors learning pathway on the DofE platform.
  3. Register with the Scout Association (see below)

Registering with the Scout Association

To be able to assess for the Scouts, you need to demonstrate sufficient technical competence in order to support young people on their expeditions. This requirement can be demonstrated by:

  • Having a Scout permit in the relevant mode of travel
  • Holding an NGB qualification in the relevant mode of travel
  • Providing a letter from the County DofE Lead (if you need a letter, please email giving your Scout Membership number and details of your relevant experience and qualifications)

If you have everything you need, you should inform the County DofE Lead (contact here) and then complete this form. Assessor affiliations are handled by the Scouts HQ and are usually valid for 5 years. Once you receive the email stating you are registered, you should complete the rest of your assessor details on eDofE.
