Timescales
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme requires partcipants to give their free time.
Requirements
Participants should decide which Section to undertake for the longer period at the beginning of their Award, however this decision can be reviewed once the participant has begun the activities.
In the Service, Skills and Physical Recreation Sections the minimum time requirements are expressed in months, during which there should be regular commitment averaging at least an hour a week. Participants are encouraged to continue activities beyond the minimum time requirements of the Award in order to meet their personal objectives.
