Award, your Licensed Organisation may allow you to
start your Silver a month or two before your 15th
birthday
A Silver DofE programme has 4 sections,
Volunteering, Physical, Skills and Expedition. You
need to do at least 6 months Volunteering and a
minimum of 6 months on either Physical or Skills and
3 months on the other. It’s up to you which one you
do for longer
If you did Bronze, you can choose the same activity
for Silver, but you need to show development in it. It's
best to try something new!
The Expedition section involves planning, training for
and doing a 3 day (2 night) expedition
If you start your Silver without doing Bronze first
you’ll have to do an extra 6 months volunteering or
doing whichever of the Physical or Skills sections you
have spent more time on. Though you can change
your mind later, you should decide which section you
want to do for longer at the beginning. Knowing how
long you’re going to do it for will help you to choose
your activity and set your goals for each section
It will take you at least 6 months for Silver if you've
already achieved your Bronze, or 12 months if you've
jumped straight into Silver
Once you are 16 you can do your Gold DofE
programme. No activities can be counted for this
before your 16th birthday
If you did a previous level, you can choose the same
activity for Gold, but you need to show development
in it. It's best to try something new!
You’ll spend 12 months on your Volunteering section.
For Physical and Skills you must spend 12 months
on one and six months on the other - you decide
which way round you do it
Your expedition will be for four days and three nights
(plus an acclimatisation day) and should take place in
'wild country'
The big difference at Gold is you'll also do a
Residential section - staying away from home for five
days and four nights doing a shared activity with
people you don't know. It's great fun and a real
chance to do something different!
If you’ve jumped straight into your Gold DofE
programme you’ll need to do a further six months
either volunteering or whichever one of your physical
or skills activities you spent the most time on
For Gold, you'll need to do your programme for at
least 12 months if you've achieved your Silver Award,
or 18 months if you've started at Gold level without
doing your Silver - even if you've done Bronze
