The Gold Residential Project, completed only at Gold level, aims to broaden participants’ horizons through involvement with others in a residential setting. Participants have the opportunity to share a purposeful experience with people who are not their usual companions and work towards a common goal, set out by the participants themselves. Through the Gold Residential Project participants will meet new people, explore life in an unfamiliar environment, develop new skills and, hopefully, have a life changing experience.
Examples of Gold Residential Projects:
- Residential language courses
- Youth camp overseas
- Voluntary work with national parks, youth parliaments, sports coaching
- Crew member on a tall ship
- Work for an international charity
- Restoration projects
- Time requirements
- The activity should take place over a period of at least four nights and five consecutive days.
