The Silver Award can be completed by students in Year 10. Students who choose to complete the Silver Award must complete 4 sections, similar to the Bronze: volunteering, physical, skills and expedition. However, for Silver the volunteering section must be completed for 6 months, whilst the other two sections must be completed for either 3 or 6 months. Participants can choose which of the two sections they wish to complete for longer.
- Volunteering (6 months) – See details under Bronze Award. This can be the same activity or different to that completed at Bronze level.
- Physical (3/6 months) – See details under Bronze Award. This can be the same activity or different to that completed at Bronze level.
- Skills (3/6 months) – See details under Bronze Award. This can be the same activity or different to that completed at Bronze level.
- Expedition (navigation day, 2 day/2 night practice expedition and 3 day/ 2 night qualifying expedition) - participants complete an expedition in rural countryside, which should be unknown to them. Previously this has been completed around the Long Mynd.
