I know the Duke Of Edinburgh is done in the UK, but I duno about anywhere else :/.

So, has anyone done it and if so which stages :blush: .

For anyone that doesn't knwo it is a big challenge that lasts betwen 6 and 18 months.
At any one time, around 225,000 participants are trying for an Award in the UK alone, with around 110,000 taking up its challenge each year.
You need to be betwen 14 and 17 to start the challenge and you must finish before you are 25.
