There are three levels to the award: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Within each level there are four categories of tasks that need to be completed before the award can be earned. These categories include involvement in a sport or physical activity, learning a new skill, performing a service to the community, and taking part in an expedition.
The Gold Award has a fifth category which is a five-day, four-night residential sharing an activity with new people.
The Bronze students are offered training in preparation for the expedition. Once the award has been achieved, there is a Presentation Evening where the students are given their certificates and medals.
