In addition to "The Duke of Edinburgh Challenge Trophy" awarded at the Model Engineer Exhibition, Prince Phillip also instigated the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme to reward young people, all over the world, for completing a series of self-improvement exercises. These included voluntary community work, physical fitness, developing practical and social skills and the dreaded expedition training. Many of us will remember those cold, wet nights bivouacking and treking across Dartmoor with some affection.
