Overseas
If you have completed your Gold Award (and received confirmation from the National Office) and are heading off overseas it may be possible to have your Gold Award Certificate presented in the country you are going to.
Things to consider are ...
- will you be in the country long enough to be included in a presentation? (12 - 18 months is about the shortest workable time in the UK)
- does the country you are going to offer the Award (check the International Award for Young People site to see if it is)?
If you can answer "yes" to the above then contact the National Office for further information and the correct paperwork.
Please note that we can not guarantee your inclusion in ceremonies overseas.
