Got my Silver around 2 years ago ;D. Made us hike and camp on the coldest and wettest day here, was very homosexual.

I thinking about applying for the bronze award. Only prob is, you have to pay

[Pyroka]

Its not much, like a tenner? I mean youve gotta buy your boots and your food for the expedition but apart from that its basically all free :S

If I was to jump in at gold award, roughly what would I have to do to get it (I understand it'd take 2 years but i'm okay with that).

If I was to jump in at gold award, roughly what would I have to do to get it (I understand it'd take 2 years but i'm okay with that).

You need a service (helping the community in some way), a skill (learn an instrument or something), a sport (couple hours a week, need to make an effort) and then you do training weekends and like a week long expedition "on your own" (just you and whoever you're doing it with).

I was going to do gold but only really cause I wanted it for my uni application. Then I realised that having not done silver, I'd be doing 18 months of services, skills etc so by the time I actually got the award I'd have long since applied. Also when doing it through our school they charge you major $$$. It is an excellent thing to have on a CV though, allegedly the things employers value most in terms of extra curricular stuff.

Service is easy, if you have to go to some sort of training/meeting for your expeditions then just offer to help 'train' people doing bronze/ silver.
