Bronze award: The Bronze award is open to all students once they have started year 9. Each section of the bronze award (physical, skill and volunteering) is undertaken over 3 months. As participants complete each section of the award they gather evidence (e.g. photographs, diary entry, videos, recordings) of their activity and submit those as evidence on the eDofE app. At the end of each section an approved assessor (who is not a relative) completes and signs an assessor’s report, confirming the activity took place. Each activity is to be completed weekly. The expedition to complete the bronze award is over 2 days, with one night camping in West Cornwall.

Silver Award:
The Silver award is open to all students once they have started year 10, regardless if you have completed the bronze award. There are three sections of the award just like at bronze (physical, volunteering and skill) but depending on whether you have completed the bronze award already or not will determine how long each section will take. Participants who have already completed bronze need to undertake two sections for 6 months and one section for three months (volunteering must be one of the 6 month activities). Participants who have not completed bronze must complete two sections at 9 months (one of which must be volunteering) and one for 6 months. Each activity is completed weekly. As participants complete each section of the award they gather evidence (e.g. photographs, diary entry, videos, recordings) of their activity and submit those as evidence on the eDofE app. At the end of each section an approved assessor (who is not a relative) completes and signs an assessor’s report, confirming the activity took place. The expedition to complete the bronze award is over 2 days, with one night camping in West Cornwall.
