The Award is a flexible, interesting and fun-packed programme for all young people between the ages of 14 and 24 regardless of their background. Participants pursue a number of self chosen activities over a set length of time.

It is entirely voluntary and is structured so the Participants can design their own unique program centred around their interests and passions.
It’s not a piece of cake, but it is well worth the effort.

You can opt for activities which you are already involved in or you can start something you’ve always dreamed of doing but haven’t had the reason to begin. Your programme can be full of activities and projects that get you buzzing, and along the way you’ll pick up experiences, friends and talents that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
The Award is offered at three levels : Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each level takes a set amount of time, becoming longer  as you proceed from one level to another, however more rewarding.

You achieve your Award by completing a personal programme of activities in four sections – Service, Physical Recreation, Skills, Adventure Journey and a Residential Project (if you’re going for Gold).
