Official Partner — Crown Society of Canada

OUR PARTNERSHIP
The Crown Society of Canada is proud to be an official partner of the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award — one of the world's leading youth development programs. We are working to establish a National Award Centre that will offer centralized administration and consistent support to participants across the country, while allowing existing organizations — cadets, scouts, schools and community groups — to continue delivering the Award's activities.
WHAT IS THE AWARD?
The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award helps young people aged 14 to 24 build confidence, resilience and practical skills through hands-on sections. Each participant progresses at their own pace toward three levels of recognition: Bronze, Silver and Gold.

"Young people growing up in this complex, modern world face many challenges, and the opportunities for personal achievement are often limited. The Award aims to help both young people and those who care about their wellbeing." — HRH Prince Philip, Founder of the Award
