The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is for all young people between the ages of 14 and 25, whatever their background or ability. It gives opportunities for personal achievements, adventure, community and social involvement and a widening of interests. To qualify for the Award, a young person must satisfy the requirements of the following four sections - Service, Expeditions, Skills and Physical Recreation. For the Gold Award, a young person must also undertake a Residential Project.
Numbers continue to rise quite dramatically.
In the last year over 101,000 young people have joined the scheme, therefore more leaders are required to support the many initiatives being run. Full support and training is given. For further information on the Award locally, please hit this link. This page has been visited times.
