Duke of Edinburgh

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is offered at Bronze Level in Pitlochry High School to pupils who are 14 years of age or over.  The Award is a challenging programme of out of school activities which help the participants learn new skills, help others and experience adventure whilst giving them a sense of achievement.  The Award is valued by a wide range of organisations and employers. 

During the Bronze section of the Award, participants complete four sections:

• Volunteering
• Skills
• Physical Recreation
• An expedition of 2 days and 1 night

The participants choose the area in each section that they wish to cover and the programme is flexible with a wide range of options to suit everyone. 

The minimum time taken to complete a Bronze Award is 6 months but more normally it will take approximately a year.
