Has anyone had any success with the ASC award, I come across it the other
day and was quite inspired and considering seeing if it will work with the
Troop, I have received an information pack today.

There are 2 awards Junior and Senior both with 2 stages where the young
people have to complete something from the A, S, and C and it is for
children aged 8 - 14, there is great flexibility.

The ASC is recognized and recommended by the Duke of Edinburgh's award as a
lead in for Bronze and from what I have read so far it look so much more
flexible than the Scout Badge scheme and DoE scheme. I have yet to read it
properly but i think there may be potential to use this.

The ASC Scheme has been going since the 60s and it looks like it was
established by the church.
