What is the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme?
The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme is a programme of activities that can be undertaken by anyone aged from 14 to 25, regardless of personal ability. The Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award consists of four sections: Expedition, Sport, Skill and Service. Each participant must complete each section in order to gain their Bronze Award. It is a chance for young people to have fun, be outdoors and complete new challenges that will boost their confidence. Activities include camping overnight, map reading, route planning, cooking outdoors and teamwork rather than competition.
