Community Involvement is all about making a difference to other people’s lives.

Everyone is unique and has something they can contribute to make their community a better place. It feels good to help, its fun, and you often make new friends too!

You don’t need to be super fit or have participated in any physical activity before — just try it out!

With exception to the Adventure Journey, each challenge area requires a minimum participation of 1 hour per week for 13 weeks. The Adventure Journey takes place over a minimum of 2 days and 1 night.An additional 13 weeks must be completed in one challenge area of choice; this could be the activity that is the most enjoyable for the student, or an activity in which there is still room for improvement. As a result, it will take at least 26 weeks to complete your Bronze Award, however everyone is free to complete the award at their own pace.
