The majority of pupils participate in adventurous activities . We have over 100 pupils from Dulwich College in the cubs, scouts and explorers as part of the 25th Camberwell Scout group . From Year 9 pupils can join the Combined Cadet Force . Approximately 80 boys join the cadets in Year 9 and there are over 150 boys involved in total. We enter national competitions and have won a number of these in recent years including the Guthrie Cup. Roughly 100 pupils in Year 10 sign up to the Duke of Edinburgh Silver
Award which they complete over two years. Then about 30 pupils take on the Gold Award in the Upper School. Add to this the more than 250 outings and 75 expeditions taking place each year and the co-curricular aspect of a Dulwich education is complete. 2018 proved no different in being a very busy year. It is difficult to summarise with some highlights, we have done so much, but these would be: in Sport, the Rugby team winning the Champions Trophy in December
2017; in Music, the performance of Britten’s War Requiem at the Royal Festival Hall in February 2018; and in the CCF, the winning of the Guthrie Cup in November 2018. Looking ahead, the Olympiad in March 2019 is going to be a highpoint for the co-curricular field.
