All the money raised from the Challenge goes directly to supporting the Award Programme. The Award helps young people to develop resilience, adaptability, and confidence to be ready for the world.
The Award comprises four sections. With support from an adult mentor, participants personally design their Award programme, set their own goals and record their progress. They choose suitable activities for Service, Physical and Skills Development (for a minimum of 1 hour a week for 6 to 18 months depending on their level), engage in an Adventurous Journey and at the Gold Level take part in a Residential Project. The Service Section is intended to develop a sense of community and social responsibility. The Adventurous Journey Section aims to cultivate a spirit of adventure and discovery and an understanding of the environment. The Skills Section develops cultural, vocational and practical skills and the Physical Recreation Section encourages improved performance and fitness. The Gold Project (for Gold only) aims to broaden horizons through a worthwhile residential experience.
The Award has never been more important - at a time of exceptional challenge and change, the Award is here to help empower young people with the skills needed to take on whatever may come their way.
Thank you for your investment in Bermuda’s future!
