This award requires achievement in each of Four Activity Areas,
which in turn have a number of activities that need to be completed to reach the required standard.
Approval is required prior to the Venturer undertaking the activity.
There are Parameters (or guidance) for Venturers undertaking an activity.
The Award Standards Committee has a list of preferred examiners.
