Congratulations on Completing Your Award!
Completing the Award is a remarkable milestone and one you should be proud of. Every level, Bronze, Silver, and Gold, represents commitment, growth, and resilience. Recognition is an essential part of the Award. While the way we recognize has evolved, the focus remains the same: making sure every young person’s achievement is acknowledged meaningfully, promptly, and consistently.
How Award Recognition Works:
Recognition of participants’ achievements is an important part of the Award experience. Today, recognition is provided through three main avenues:
Upon completion of each Award, achievers receive a digital certificate and Award Centres are provided with pins to present to them. This ensures recognition is timely, consistent, and meaningful.
Gold Award achievers who completed their Award between September 1st and August 31st of the previous year are recognized on the Gold Award Achiever Recognition webpage each year. The webpage features the names of the Gold Award achievers, alumni highlights, and resources to help them leverage their Award. Explore the National Recognition Page here: (Coming Soon)
Licensed Award Centres may choose to host local recognition events for Bronze, Silver, and/or Gold achievers. These recognition events are school or community-led, giving each Centre the flexibility to recognize young people in a way that best reflects their community.
To say that the Duke of Edinburgh Award has impacted the way I view the world would be an understatement. The Award has changed my development as a leader and my perception of community and who I should strive to be. I cherish the memories of leading the way in my adventurous journey, finding ways to give back to the community during the pandemic, and creating ideas with global impact in my gold project.
