The Duke of Edinburgh's Award

 

Panther Explorer Unit and Alty Towers Network offers members the opportunity to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and run the Bronze (14 years old) and Gold (16 years old) award schemes.

 

How do I complete the award? 

 

You achieve your Award by completing a personal programme of activities in four sections (five if you're going for Gold) - Volunteering, Physical, Skills, Expedition and for Gold, a Residential.

 

If you complete the Gold award, you will also be invited to a presentation held at St James' Palace and the opportunity to meet a member of the Royal Family and a famous award-holder!

 

What does the award involve?  

 

You'll find yourself helping people in the community, getting fitter, developing skills, going on an expedition and taking part in a residential activity (Gold only). The best bit is - you get to choose what you do! Your programme can be full of activities and projects that get you buzzing, and along the way you’ll pick up experiences, friends and talents that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
