The President’s Award consists of three levels — bronze, silver, and gold — with 4-5 requirements each. There are age restrictions per level as well as scaling time frames depending on the award level. Only activities done after registration for the specific award level are eligible towards the award, and participants should aim to complete the requirements within the normal time period.
