LIFE CHANGING ADVENTURE The Queens Scout Award LIFE CHANGING ADVENTURE

Introduction LIFE CHANGING ADVENTURE The QSA is the culmination of everything a young person does as a youth member in Scouting The Queen’s Scout Award is for Explorer Scouts aged 16 and over, and Scout Network members. The Gold DofE programme is equivalent to the five Queen’s Scout Award Challenges (Service, Skill, Physical, Expedition and Residential). 5 minutes Review the answers from the previous task and outline the following key points. Individuals who have completed their DofE Gold Award therefore do not need to repeat these challenges in order to achieve their Queen’s Scout Award, however they will need to complete the additional Scouting specific requirements of the Queen’s Scout Award. Individuals who have not completed their Chief Scout Diamond Award or their DofE Silver Award are required to complete an extra six months in either the Service or the longer of the Skills or Physical challenges.
