Frequently Asked Question

For your Silver Award, you will need to complete:

• Volunteering: 6 months
• Skills: 3 or 6 months
• Physical: 3 or 6 months

Your Volunteering section must be completed for 6 months. One of your Skills or Physical sections must also be completed for 6 months, while the other must be completed for 3 months.

If you did not complete Bronze, you will need to undertake an additional 6 months in either your Volunteering section or the longer of your Physical or Skills sections.

You can work on all three sections at the same time or complete them one at a time. The important thing is that you complete your entire Award before your 25th birthday.

If you have questions about your Volunteering section, evolve, JLGB’s young volunteering initiative, can help you find a suitable placement and support you in completing this section of your DofE.
