Award Resources

Skill Activity Providers

This Directory is a guide for Award Leaders, participants and parents/guardians to use when considering options for completing the Skills section.

 

 Please Note: Any decision to use a Registered Activity Provider (RAP) must be based on one’s own research to determine the suitability of an activity for the participant. The Award does not endorse one RAP over another but is providing this list as possible options for Award Centres and participants to consider.
