Resilience, teamwork and the joy of giving back are skills I credit the program for equipping me with. As we climbed the steep hills and found our way through the thick bushes it was an horrific experience but the joy of finishing each award was immeasurable. Being a gold awardee I look forward to using this skills to be a transformational leader in my youthful age. Long live the Duke of Edinburg for having this vision that has touched millions of young people.
