Duke of Edinburgh Award

hey guys,
three weeks ago, i joined a program known as the Duke of Edinburgh Award. my school encourages it and so do other schools around here. i'm showing it to you because i think it would be something cool for you to join and it'd be pretty beneficial.

So...
What is the Award?
The award is a programme of activities for you to do in your spare time. There are three Awards to try for: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Gold takes the longest to do and is the hardest one to try for - usually, people start off on the Bronze award.
You simply have to choose one activity under each of these headings, and do it for a set length of time:
Service: Be a local hero - help the community, the environment or even train to save a life...
Skills: Do something different, whether you fancy yourself as a fine artist or a trapeze artist, we’ve got something that will suit you...
Physical Recreation: Could you be the next Beckham? Or Anna Kournikova? Virtually any sport, dance or fitness activity can count...
Expedition: Go on an expedition and find yourself. Train, plan and complete an adventurous journey in the countryside on foot, horseback, boat or cycle...
Residential Project: Work as a team on a conservation, service or activity-based project for five days (this is for Gold Award Participants only).
It's fun, challenging and different... so go on, take the challenge!
