Service

In this section of the award you will focus on helping others. You will be required to spend at least 10 hours each year helping others in your community. This could be through volunteering, helping a children's sports team, helping in your place of worship, doing a beach clean or even picking up litter in your street. You will be required to keep a track of your time spent and give a 3 minute presentation to your form class in the summer term demonstrating what you have done. The link below has a logbook template for you to use so you can keep count of the hours that you have completed. Every hour of volunteering will earn you one KMS Bacc point.
