Taking part in a regular physical activity is an amazing way for you to develop stamina and confidence, build a range of skills and improve your health and wellbeing.
There really is an activity for everyone, even if you don't consider yourself as being sporty. It's just about finding one which excites and interests you enough to follow through with.
You might want to try something completely new, or you might prefer to develop in an area you're already pursuing (like in a specific sport, or in general fitness). Remember: lots of the activities you're already completing through Scouts – like canoeing, caving, rock climbing, rowing, sailing or walking – could be a great match.
Remember:

Current opportunities available for the Physical Section
Young people choose activities for each section of the DofE that are specific and relevant to them. Here is a list of activities and opportunities that are currently being offered to help create your individual DofE programme.
Some opportunities on this page are external to Scouting. Participants/parents/carers booking onto any opportunities should confirm the opportunity meets the criteria of the section they are completing and should follow policies and procedures if the provider as well as following Scouting Safeguarding guidelines.
If you have an opportunity you think would benefit others and would like to share, please send the details to dofe@scouts.org.uk
