What is The Duke of Edinburgh Award?
The Award is a challenging programme of activities which will help you learn new skills, help others and experience adventure and it will give you a great sense of achievement. What's more, many organisations such as employers and universities take a good view of the Award and what it says about the person who has achieved it. A recent major survey showed that it has more influence on employers than anything else.
What does it involve?
There are three levels - Bronze, Silver and Gold - and, for each, you complete activities in four sections - service, skills, physical recreation and expeditions. At the Gold level you also take part in a Residential Project.
It's up to you what you do. In each Section there is a wide range of options you can choose from or you can find other similar activities which interest you. This could be something entirely new or you could continue with an activity you already enjoy. The good news is it's not an exam and you can't fail! The Award is all about having a go - it's not a competition - you just need a bit of enterprise and perseverance.
Who is it for?
The Award is open to anyone between the age of 14 and 25 years. Special qualifications are not needed, just a willingness to have a go.
Where can I do it?
At your local youth club or voluntary youth organisation
At your school, college or university
Through your employer
