Bronze level is the first level you can achieve in the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award programme. You can start your Bronze challenge when you are 13 years old (turning 14). It takes at least 6 months to complete the whole Bronze programme.
During this time, you need to do activities in three sections: Skills, Physical Recreation and Voluntary Service. You need to choose specific activities that suit you from these three sections, and pick one of them as your major. In addition, you need to complete the Adventurous Journey, which includes training, practice journey and qualifying journey. When you finish all four sections, you are eligible to sign off the Bronze award.
