Temporary Changes to Adventurous Journeys due to COVID-19

01 May – 31 December 2020 - To support participants during this challenging time and to encourage young people to stay active, The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award – Australia has implemented some temporary changes to the Award requirements. 

We are excited to cater for these changes and deliver 1 day Bronze and 2 day, 1 night Silver and Gold Practice Adventurous Journeys.

Please note, all shorter practice Adventurous Journeys come with criteria that need to be considered. These are:

• Demonstrated competence by the group throughout the hike, the environment (location) and conditions (time of year);
• Demonstrated overnight simple self-catering/camping experience;
• Demonstrated positive team dynamics; and
• Approved by the Award Leader.
