For this award programme, each of the sections have 4 levels. To gain a level, all 24 points must have been gained from the sections (10 from Recreation and 7 from Community and Skills each). 1 point is needed for each of the sub topics, the points that are left over which are needed to get the maximum points in a section can be gained from doing extra time in any of the sub topics in that section. 1 point equals half an hour and only 1 badge from each section can be gained within a 12 month period. If you went over the required amount of time to reach the maximum points in a section, this extra time you spent will not be carried over for the next level.
