What is ‘The President’s Award’?

The President’s Award for Youth Empowerment (TPA) is an independent, structured youth development programme and is the South African implementation of The Duke of Edinburgh International Award.  It is recognised and implemented by many schools, universities, and employers. Subject to eligibility by age, youth from all around the country can participate.

Partnership with SCOUTS South Africa

SCOUTS South Africa has an established partnership with The President’s Award so that Scouts, Rovers and young Scouters can complete the award in conjunction with the Scouting Advancement programmes, and at a reduced cost. Within Scouting, TPA is recognised as a Challenge Award and has its own unique badge.
