The Gold level requires the longest commitment and the highest standards of participation compared to the Bronze and Silver levels.
Participants must complete activities across four core sections: Service, Skills, Physical Recreation, and Adventurous Journey, as well as a Residential Project.
These components are intended to develop practical life skills, encourage community service, promote physical fitness and foster teamwork and self-reliance.
