The Award offers an individual challenge and encourages young people to undertake exciting, constructive, challenging and enjoyable activities in their free time. Participants complete their achievement and attain their Award by their 25th birthday. Bronze, Silver and Gold

St Pauls Explorers currently work towards various stages of the Award. We encourage the Explorers to take part as it brings people together to work as a team not just within our Explorer Unit but County and SW wide.
