How long does it take to complete the Young Civic Award?

At Level 1

  • Each section requires 4 hours of activity which ideally should be half an hour or an hour spread over at least 4weeks.
  • The expedition takes place within a day but time is spent before you go out in planning and preparation. You can be accompanied by an adult; however the group must do the  work with minimal adult help.
  • For the other sections the activity can take place in, say, a  week or be spread over a number of weeks.

At Level 2

  • Each section apart from the expedition requires at least 6 weeks of activity.
  • The number of hours is not fixed but there must be a minimum of 6 hours over the 6 weeks.
  • The expedition requires 6 hours of activity in a day but again time has to be spent in planning and preparation
