DUKE of EDINBURGH'S AWARD

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Launched in 1956, The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is open to all young people between the ages of 14 and 25. Participants choose their own activities, so every Award reflects a young person’s own interests, circumstances and environment. In a typical year, more than 800 Sea Cadets start Bronze, Silver or Gold Awards. Though they require commitment, activities are designed to be undertaken in a cadet’s spare time, leaving plenty of room for school and social life. In many cases cadets can accumulate credits towards an award just by attending and taking part in their Unit’s scheduled activities. It takes at least six months to achieve a Bronze, at least 12 months for Silver and 18 months for Gold.
