The Gold Award Society

The Gold Award Society is made up of Duke Of Edinburgh's Award Gold Award Achievers.

Our Mandate is to stand behind the objectives and spirit that drive the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Program and to demonstrate that the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award is not an end in itself but rather a beginning, and a step towards service and commitment to oneself and the community.

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award

The Award (which is truly an achievement more then it is an award) is designed to challenge people between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five to "reach for their best". The Awards are designed in ascending standards of achievement: 'Bronze', 'Silver', and 'Gold' levels. Each standard provides for training, achievement, and recognition in the basics of good citizenship. A wide variety of interests is embraced, including physical activities, educational training, self-discipline, and service to the community - all designed to advance the physical, mental, and spiritual welfare of the young people.

This Web Site

When it was first created this web site was one of the first web sites for the Duke Of Edinburgh's Award in the world. It first went online in 1992 and was created to support both the efforts of the Gold Award Society and the Award Programme. We encourage Award Recipients and Participants from around the world to join us in our efforts to foster communication and continued spirit within the Award.
