Are you ready for a challenge? Do you want to learn new skills, experience adventure, help others and have the satisfaction of personal achievement?

There are three levels-Bronze, Silver and Gold, and for each you complete activities of your choice in four sections-Service, Skill, Physical Recreation and Expeditions.

At JAGS you can start in Year 9. The programme is flexible, balanced and non-competitive-you work at your own pace and enjoy the opportunities it gives you for personal development.

What will you get from the experience?

• Self-knowledge
• New friendships
• New skills like problem-solving and communication
• The ability to lead and to work as part of a team
• The ability to learn from and to give to others in the community
• A sense of independence and responsibility
• Awareness of your potential

When you successfully complete the Award, you will be presented with a badge and a certificate (at one of the Royal Palaces if it is at Gold Level.)

This is an Award we really respect, and which is highly valued by universities and employers, who recognise what it says about you. Nothing can be more important, however, than your own knowledge of what it has meant to you to take part
