How is an Award Achieved
To achieve an Award, each young person must learn a skill, improve their physical well being, volunteer in their community and experience a team adventure in a new environment. All Participants are supported by a network of adult Award Leaders, Assessors and Supervisors.
The key elements of our program are:
- Open to all young people aged 14 to 24.
- Three levels - Bronze, Silver, and Gold – each progressively more challenging.
- Four Sections - Physical Recreation, Skills, Voluntary Service, Adventurous Journey plus Gold Residential Project (Gold Level only).
- Achieving an Award recognises individual goal setting and self-improvement through persistence and achievement.
