Why Have a Progressive Award Scheme?
There are two reasons for the scheme to be in place.
Firstly, it rewards and promotes commitment, self-motivation, teamwork, skills (both life-skills and Scouting), and many more qualities which can be developed in young people.
It is also used as the core of the Scouting programme, as the requirements of the award vary from participation in community activities, to more traditional Scouting activities such as camping.

The requirements of each award vary through the age groups. For example, Beaver Scouts have to complete the Outdoor Challenge (Scoutcraft, environment, or similar), along with either the Friendship ("People Far Away", meeting other people, or caring for others) or Discovery ("How things work", health & fitness, or creativity) challenge, and also a personal challenge (decided between the Beaver Scout and their leader).
Explorer Scouts and Scout Network, on the other hand, need to complete a set of physical recreation, skill, and service challenges, and they must also undertake an expedition (this equates to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, which can be undertaken in parallel with the Scouting scheme). They must also participate in "group" projects or activities involving either Faith, Community or Environment, and have spent a minimum number of nights away as a member of Scouting. The Duke of Edinburghs Award is a registered charity in the United Kingdom which administers an award (also known as The Duke of Edinburghs Award or D of E) for personal achievement that can be obtained by anyone aged from 14 to 25. ...
