TAKE THE CHALLENGE! 1... Anyone aged between 14 and 24 can start their DofE programme, completing a variety of activities in their free time. There are three progressive levels of Awards: Bronze, Silver and Gold. People usually start with the Bronze. You don't have to pass any exams - you simply choose one activity for each of the four sections (except at Gold level where there is an additional section - Residential): Volunteering: Be a local hero - do voluntary work and help your community. Skills: Learn something new, from astronomy to zoology! Physical: Are you the next Lionel Messi? Or Justina Kowalczyk? Any sport, dance or fitness activity can count. Expedition: Go on an expedition and find yourself! Plan an adventure on foot or horseback, by boat or bike. 2... Absolutely anyone! If you're 14, you can do your Bronze programme. You can do your Silver when you're 15, and your Gold when you're 16. Just remember, you must complete all sections of your programme before you're 25. 3... Your Bronze programme will take at least six months to complete and then at least 12 months at Silver then 18 months at Gold. You can work on all the sections at the same time (but one activity can't count for two sections!). 7 Read the text again and answer the questions.
