The Duke of Edinburgh Award
This award is recognized in well over 100 countries and challenges young people to get involved in four key areas - service to the community, sports , learning a new skill ,
and enjoying the outdoors with practice journeys and a final expedition over two or more days.
In addition, Gold requires a Residential section, which is a period of five days away from Auckland, with a group you do not know very well.
The New Zealand Duke of Edinburgh website has some very useful additional information about the Award. For a general overview of the D of E Award, click here .
