Activities are based on the
'reality' of today's world and are all designed to promote teamwork and offer a sense of achievement when
completed.
|
|
It's design is flexible and
comprehensive enough to meet the needs of A2 YFA and our under
14's. The scheme is used by us to prepare our younger members for
participation in the Duke
of Edinburgh's Award.
We offer members the two higher or senior levels from the four levels which are nationally available.
The timescale and intensity of the requirements vary between the two levels, but activities fall into the following categories:
|
|
|
-
Safety, First Aid & Emergencies
-
Road Craft and the Highway Code
- Campcraft & Walking
- Service
- Hobbies & Interests
- Shield (Religion based)
- Cookery
|
As well as training for the award on a drill night, the program includes at least two
action packed residential weekends per year. The groups spend some of their time completing sections of the award, such as the campcraft and cookery, whilst much time is set aside for leisure activities, such as horse-riding, swimming, grass sledging, kite making and the thrill of assault courses.
Upon completion of each stage, the young persons achievements are recognised by way of a certificate and badge which are awarded at a formal presentation evening.
