The award gives young people the chance to develop skills for work and life, fulfil their potential and have a brighter future. To complete a Duke of Edinburgh Award, pupils need to plan and take part in expeditions, volunteering themselves to help others, improve a skill and take part in a physical activity, and show a minimum of three months commitment for each section. They also need to communicate with adults, collect assessors reports, fill their computer profile with evidence in the form of films, pictures and text, work very closely with others and keep to deadlines.
