- For ages 16+*
- Takes place over at least 18 months – if the young person is new to DofE, or has only completed their Bronze Award – or 12 months if they’ve already completed Silver Award
- Young people choose a physical activity and a skill to focus on: developing one for three months, and the other for six months
- They take on a volunteering opportunity for six months
- They go on an expedition for four days (including three overnight stays) in wild country terrain
- They embark on a residential project for five days (including four overnight stays)
- Their achievements link directly to the Queen’s Scout Award (Explorers aged 16+ and Network)
* The age range for this award is strictly set: any work done on the award by young people under 16 unfortunately won’t count. All activities must be completed by the young person’s 25th birthday.
