Bronze Award
Bronze: fun with friends
Bronze is the first level of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. You can start in the school year you turn 14, and it's designed as an accessible first step — no previous experience needed.
Bronze at a glance
What you'll do
The four Bronze sections
You choose your own activities for Volunteering, Physical and Skills, and pick one of them to do for 6 months instead of 3. You decide which before you start, but you can change your mind later.
Give your time to help people, your community or the environment.
Get active with a sport, dance or fitness activity of your choice and track your improvement.
Develop a talent or hobby you already love, or try something completely new.
Plan, train for and complete an adventurous journey as a small team.
Expedition
Your Bronze expedition
2 days and 1 night

6 hours of planned activity a day
At least 6 hours each day, with at least half of that spent journeying.
Training and practice first
