Residential Experience
(Gold Award only)
Why this is part of the Award
This section encourages experiences through some form of purposeful enterprise with others in a residential setting.
What do I have to do?
You will normally have a briefing or some training before or during the residential period so that you are able to contribute fully and derive full benefit from the experience. You then undertake a shared activity or specific course in a residential setting away from home and in an unfamiliar environment.
What do I get out of it?
The residential is an opportunity to meet new people in an unfamiliar environment, work as part of a team and develop new skills.
For a more information on opportunities for Residential experiences, see the Residential Project page of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award website.
