Awards

One of the main reasons for getting involved in Network is that it gives you access to two of the most highly regarded non-vocational qualifications a young person can achieve: The Queen's Scout Award and the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award. Both these Awards are completed in parallel and consist of members undertaking a skill, physical recreation, service, expedition and residential project. All the support you need together with assessment and presentation can be arranged via Clwyd Network.

There's also the Explorer Belt - the challenge of a lifetime, which is open to Explorer Scouts aged over 16 and members of the Scout Network. It is a chance to take part in a ten-day expedition that brings a real understanding of a different country, its people and way of life.

The Explorer belt is sometimes described as 'the antidote to the package holiday'. It is designed to help young people develop a real understanding of another country by travelling through that country, completing surprise projects, working as a small team and meeting local people.
