There are four sections at Bronze and Silver level and five at Gold. With assistance from adult Leaders, participants select and set objectives in each of the following areas: - Volunteering: undertaking service to individuals or the community. - Physical: improving in an area of sport, dance or fitness activities. - Skills: developing practical and social skills and personal interests. - Expedition: planning, training for and completion of an adventurous journey in the UK or aboard. At Gold level, participants must do an additional fifth Residential section, which involves staying and working away from home doing a shared activity. Each section must be done for a minimum period of time. It must be monitored and then assessed by someone with knowledge of that particular activity to achieve and Award. Each progressive e level demands more time and commitment from participants. Please go to the website for more information : http:// www.dofe.org/go/doing
