The Gold Award is undertaken by Tut 3 students and takes 12 months to complete. Candidates complete 12 months in the Physical Recreation, Skills and Service sections.

 

They must participate in their chosen activity for a minimum of 1 hour per week. We hope that they go above and beyond this time, however if they do, it does not qualify them to finish the award earlier. The emphasis is on commitment and regularity. All activity will be recorded in their Online Record Book (ORB). Candidates are required to attend regular meetings with their mentor to access and record their progress as well as plan and prepare for their Adventurous Journey and Residential Project.

​

Students who have not completed Bronze or Silver are able to participate in the Award at Gold level. In order to do this, they must complete an extra 6 months in one section of their choice, bringing their completion time of the award to 18 months.

 

All students must be available for both the practice trip and the Adventurous Journey trip. Students will work with their mentor at school to explore and plan options for this trip and they will play a large role in the planning and organization of it.
