Through facilitation and feedback, children will reflect upon, and learn to understand, the value of significant character traits in five different areas.
- Personal Development – Building a foundation of inner strength, as well as improved physical and emotional health.
- Relationships – Looking at how individuals can be more effective in connecting with other people.
- Working – Engaging in any activity that requires mental or physical strength to achieve a result, bringing together personal development and relationships and adding the dimensions of leadership and team.
- Community – Providing the context for individual decision-making and for teams to make a contribution to people around them through project work and a neighbourly attitude.
- Environment – Framing the whole Award by engaging in outdoor activities in contact with nature, providing a universal link with someone beyond ourselves.
