The Duke of Edinburgh Award programme is a voluntary, non-competitive programme in which young people are encouraged to create their own programme activities, set their own achievable goals, and challenge themselves to meet those self-set goals, with consistent effort over time. As this programme operates in 144 countries worldwide, the recipients of this award receive recognition on a global scale: priority in admissions decisions, and employment prospects from institutions affiliated with this programme.

There are three levels to the award: Bronze, Silver and Gold. We have been conducting the Bronze award, which is for students with a minimum age of 13 years 9 months, and which has a minimum time of participation of 6 months. The award has four sections: Service, Physical Recreation, Skills and Adventurous Journey.
