Explorer Scout Awards

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award

As a member of The Scout Association you can participate in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award as well as Scouting Awards. This is done through being a member of an Explorer Scout Unit or the Scout Network.

This site aims to outline the basic information you need to choose the most appropriate awards for you, get started on them and who can help you through them.

The Chief Scout's Platinum Award, the Chief Scout's Diamond Award and the Queen's Scout Award have similar requirements to the D of E Bronze, Silver and Gold awards (respectively).

You have until your 25th birthday to complete any of the Awards, but it takes: at least 6 months at Bronze, at least 12 months at Silver and at least 18 months at Gold for direct entrants.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award & Scout Cheif Scout Awards

Can I do both award schemes?
Yes!

Why do both?
Why not? By registering for the D of E and Scouting Awards you can gain twice the recognition for the efforts you put in. Both Scouting and D of E awards are recognised by employers, colleges and universities. What happens when I move from Explorers to Network? As far as the D of E is concerned, just keep working towards it. The person who supports you through the Award may change but what you need to do is the same.
