THE AWARDS

King's

At Hexnet our aim is to help the Hallam Explorers and Network members achieve the prestigious King's Scout Award. 

​

Along the way the members will also earn their Duke of Edinburgh's Award as this then forms part of the King's Scout and Chief Scout's Awards. 

You can start working towards the awards from the age of 14 up until 25, as long as you meet the minimum age for each award level.

​

Please note that you cannot only do your DofE at Hexnet, and that you also have to be active within Scouts during your time at Hexnet.
