Go for gold!
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a programme of activities for you to do in your spare time. There are three Awards to try for: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Gold takes the longest to do and is the hardest to get - usually, people start off on the Bronze award.
To complete the award you have to choose one activity under each of the following headings, and do it for a set length of time:
Service: be a local hero - help the community, the environment or even train to save a life...
Skills: do something different, whether you fancy yourself as a fine artist or a trapeze artist, we’ve got something that will suit you...
Physical Recreation: could you be the next Beckham or Anna Kournikova? Virtually any sport, dance or fitness activity can count...
Expedition: go on an expedition and find yourself! Train, plan and complete an adventurous journey in the countryside on foot, horseback, boat or cycle...
Residential Project: work as a team on a conservation, service or activity-based project for five days (Gold Award participants only).
It's fun, challenging and different... so go on, take the challenge!
