Duke
of Edinburgh Awards Scheme
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.
Friendship, adventure and serious fun: the Duke
of Edinburgh’s Award perfectly fits the ethos
and the aims of the Sea Cadets.
