Introducing the Sections There are four sections that need to be completed at each level (with an extra requirement at Gold level). As you move through the levels a higher degree of commitment is required, but you can choose your own activities for each section and complete the requirements with things that you enjoy doing! The hours and months required for each section are minimums and we encourage you to go over and above this to get the most out of the programme for yourself. You can tackle each section one at a time or do them all at once ... it's all up to you!   Movable Sections   Bronze Award Holder   Service Skill Physical Recreation Bronze 3 months 3 months 3 months   Plus a further 3 months in either Service, Skill or Physical Recreation Regularity At least 15 hours spread over the 3 months Or At least 30 hours spread over the 6 months At least one hour per week for the number of months chosen At least one hour per week for the number of months chosen   Silver Award Holder   Service Skill Physical Recreation Silver Two of these Sections for 6 months One Section for 4 months   OR Direct Entrant (Someone who has not completed Bronze)   Service Skill Physical Recreation Silver One Section for 4 months One Section for 6 months One Section for 12 months Regularity At least 20 hours spread over the 4 months Or At least 30 hours spread over the 6 months Or At least 60 hours spread over the 12 months At least one hour per week for the number of months chosen At least one hour per week for the number of months chosen   Gold Award Holder   Service Skill Physical Recreation Gold Two of these Sections for 12 months One Section for 5 months   OR Direct Entrant (Someone who has not completed Silver)   Service Skill Physical Recreation Gold One Section for 5 months One Section for 12 months One Section for 18 months Regularity At least 25 hours spread over the 5 months Or At least 60 hours spread over the 12 months Or At least 90 hours spread over the 18 months At least one hour per week for the number of months chosen At least one hour per week for the number of months chosen
