Duke of Edinburgh's award


Activities


 

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme is a voluntary, non-competitive programme of practical, cultural and adventurous activities for young people aged 14-25. The Award programme consists of three levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold; each having a different criteria for entry and level of achievement required to complete the award. Air Cadets who meet the age criteria can join the award scheme.
