Stuckton Adventure Centre is a licensed centre accredited by Hampshire County Council to deliver the Duke of Edinburgh Award. There are three Award programmes:
Bronze Award – for young people aged 14+ years
Silver Award – for young people aged 15+ years
Gold Award – for young people aged 16+ years
HOW IT WORKS
The Duke of Edinburgh programme offered by Stuckton Adventure is a life-changing experience.
A fun time with friends. An opportunity to discover new interests and talents. A tool to develop essential skills for life and work. A recognised mark of achievement; respected by employers.
14-24 year-olds can do a DofE programme at one of three progressive levels which, when successfully completed, leads to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
There are four sections to complete at Bronze and Silver level and five at Gold. They involve helping the community/environment, becoming fitter, developing new skills, planning, training for and completing an expedition and, for Gold only, working with a team on a residential activity.
Any young person can do their DofE – regardless of ability, gender, background or location. Achieving an Award isn’t a competition or about being first. It’s all about setting personal challenges and pushing personal boundaries.
