The Congressional Award is about challenge. It's a fun and interesting way to get more involved in something you already enjoy or something you would like to try for the first time.

To earn the Award, you set goals in four areas:

• Volunteer Public Service
• Personal Development
• Physical Fitness
• Expedition/Exploration

Hours dedicated to earning an award at one level are carried with you to the next level. Along the way to the Gold Medal, you will earn a Bronze, Silver, and Gold Certificate and a Bronze and Silver Medal.

The minimum age to register is 14, and you must achieve your goals by your 24th birthday.
