The Duke of Edinburgh's Award (D of E or Duke of Ed), also popularly known as The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, is an award for personal achievement that can be obtained by anyone aged from 14 to 25, regardless of personal ability. The scheme takes, on average, a year to complete and around 250,000 participants are taking part in the Award programme at any time in the United Kingdom.

The Award itself has three levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold. To obtain an award, participants must demonstrate achievement at the appropriate level in various activities in four sections:

- Service: helping the community (for example, working with a charity)

- Skills: a hobby, skill or interest (for example, showing progress with a musical instrument);

- Physical recreation: sports, dance, or fitness; and

- Expeditions: can be by bicycle, horseback, or water, but most commonly on foot.
