The Award gives young people the opportunity to grow through service, skill-building, physical activity, and adventure while developing the confidence, resilience, leadership, and sense of purpose that can benefit them for life.

As participants work through The Award, they gain real-world experience, strengthen important life skills, and challenge themselves in meaningful ways. They also have the opportunity to earn an internationally recognized credential that can support future success in higher education, employment, and military enlistment. Beyond the achievement itself, The Award connects young people to a globally respected framework for personal development that helps them stand out and prepares them for what comes next.
