The Duke of Edinburgh's International Gold Award expedition this year takes place in South Korea and involves a hike along the mountainous ridges south-east of the capital Seoul.
The International Award is open to all young people from the ages of 14-24, and is a non-competitive, non-formal education programme specialising in leadership training.
This year is the 60th Anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award for Young People. Initially only for boys and based in a single Scottish school, the Award has now spread across the world to over 140 countries, and over 300,000 young people begin their Award every year.
