Participants complete four sections in gaining a Bronze or Silver Award. The Service section helps the girls to 11nderstand the needs of others and gives them a chance to par back something valuable into the coinmLinity. For the Skills area, practical skills that are meaningful and interesting are acquired, while for Physical Recreation, it is hoped candidates will become aware that a healthy lifestyle is a valuable asset for growth and development. The final section is Expedition/ Exploration. This challenges physical ability, tests foresight, improves organisational skills and develops self-reliance. The effort put in by Mr Tim Lanham and Mr Andy Chapman in training and testing the girls in this section is runch appreciated by all those involved in the Scheme. At the Gold level, candidates are required to complete a Residential component in which they live and work for four days with a group of people who were previously unknown to them
