Service Challenge in the Voluntary Sector
The ASC scheme provides voluntary leaders of children's and youth groups with a programme of activity for those between the ages of 8 and 14 years and beyond. Many potential leaders with goodwill and latent skills are sometimes at a loss to know how best to provide an aim, purpose and structure for the club that they presently run or wish to establish. ASC provides these things.
Although the ASC scheme is complete in itself, it leads towards, and prepares the members for a transition to, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Many ASC members do in fact progress to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and achieve the bronze, silver and gold awards. Others are content to progress and stay within the ASC scheme.
