Medal Requirements

Complete all requirements and check them off as you go. Your parent will verify your work.

1

Write a Project Proposal

Identify a real need in your community. Write a formal project proposal describing the problem, your proposed solution, who it will help, and your initial goal (e.g., number of people reached or items collected).

  • Focus on a real, local problem — not a global one you cannot influence
  • Be specific about your goal: "collect 50 items" not just "help the environment"
  • Think about who else benefits: residents, the environment, your school
2

Build a Project Plan & Timeline

Create a structured project plan with a week-by-week timeline, clear milestones, and assigned responsibilities. Identify the resources, permissions, and partners you will need.

  • Work backwards from your event date to set your preparation deadlines
  • List every permission you need and who to contact for each
  • Build in buffer time — things always take longer than expected!
3

Engage Stakeholders & Document Communication

Contact at least 2 external stakeholders (e.g., a venue manager, a partner organisation, volunteers). Keep a formal communication log recording every interaction — date, contact, method, and outcome.

  • Email is more professional than WhatsApp for formal requests
  • Always follow up if you do not hear back within 5 days
  • Keep records of every reply — they are your evidence
4

Execute Your Project & Collect Photo Evidence

Run your community project or event. Document the day with a photo evidence log — at least 3 photos showing setup, activity in progress, and the outcome, each with a written caption.

  • Assign someone to be the photographer so you can focus on running the event
  • Capture the unexpected moments — they show real leadership in action
  • Note the time of each photo to show the arc of the day
5

Measure Your Impact

Collect data on your project's outcomes. Compare your results against your original goals. What did you achieve? What surprised you? Present your findings in a simple impact report or infographic.

  • Numbers matter: items collected, people reached, money raised
  • Quotes from participants count as qualitative evidence
  • Be honest if you fell short of your goal — explain why and what you learned
6

Write a Final Reflection Paper

Write a 300–500 word reflection covering: the biggest lesson you learned, a moment that challenged you and how you adapted, what you are most proud of, and how this project changed how you see your role in your community.

  • Use specific examples and moments — not general statements
  • Show growth: who were you before vs. who are you now?
  • End with a forward-looking statement: what will you do next?
