Participant Resources

You can find your Award Leaders’ contact information by logging into your Online Record Book. At the top of the screen, click on “My Award Leader”, and a pop-up will display your Award Leader’s email address and phone number.

An Assessor is an adult who is interested in helping mentor you as you work to complete your activity. Assessors should have experience in the activity you have chosen and offer support and guidance throughout the time you are doing your activity. They could be a teacher, coach, counsellor, neighbour, leader, family friend etc.

All Assessors are selected by the participant and must be approved by their Award Leader. Each activity needs a different Assessor. Family members do not qualify as Assessors.

Once you’ve completed a section, you can either download and print a summary of your activities for your Assessor to sign and then upload it to your documents OR you can send a digital report directly from the ORB to your Assessor’s email. If you have any issues contact your Award Leader.

No, you must focus on a single skill. The purpose of this section is to learn or enhance a skill- something that requires time and dedication to do. For this reason, you only work on one skill per award level. If you are unable to continue with your original skill, then you may switch to a new skill to finish out the remainder of your current Award level. This can only be utilized once per level. Please reach out to your Award Leader if you have any questions.

You may have 3 activities for Physical Recreation and Voluntary Service, just keep in mind that you will need an Assessor and an Assessor’s report for each activity.

The Adventurous Journey report is your post journey reflection, it can be in the form of an essay, a presentation, video, or other medium. Feel free to get creative! Take a look at the report template in the Adventurous Journey section above to get started.

If your current activity becomes unsuitable or difficult to complete you can speak with your Award Leader about choosing another activity. The time you spent on your previous activity will still count towards your Award.

For the Skills, Physical Recreation and Voluntary Service sections of the Award, you must undertake regular activity over a set period of time. On the Online Record Book, all logs are recorded in quarter, half and full hours. The general requirement for Skills, Physical Recreation and Voluntary Service is to undertake regular effort of one hour of activity per week or two hours per 2 weeks over the required time frame. You achieve your Award by being consistently active; working towards your goals for the set duration of weeks. You can choose to take longer than the minimum requirements but you cannot complete your Award in less time.
