Duke of Edinburgh Award
As a member of The Scout Association you can participate in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award as well as Scouting Awards. This is done through being a member of an Explorer Scout Unit or the Scout Network.
There are three award levels to achieve:
Bronze – for those aged 14+ years*
Silver – for those aged 15+ years*
Gold – for those aged 16+ years
* If a young person isn’t 14 or 15 yet, but is in the school year in which their peer group turns 14 or 15, they can start their respective award. All activities must be completed by a young person’s 25th birthday.
