The Duke of Cambridge met and participated in exercises with students from each group. In the eldest group, the royal was blindfolded and instructed by students who helped him put together an outdoor tent as if he were doing so in the dark.

The program works with 200 schools and impacts more than 60,000 children, and is close to Prince William's heart.
