The Miss Kentucky Pageant is excited to be introducing to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, The Duke of Edinburgh International Award! We have partnered with this wonderful organization through participation of our contestants at the Miss and Teen level. This award is available to any contestant on the local or state level.
The DofE Award is an unique, exciting self-development program available to all young people worldwide aged 14-25, equipping them with life skills to make a difference within themselves, their communities, and the world. Currently over 8 million young people from over 144 countries have been motivated to undertake a variety of voluntary and challenging activities through the International Award program. The Award began in 1956 in the UK but has spread to across the globe because the fundamental philosophy and the Four Section operational format have proved resilient, attractive, and adaptable to many cultures, languages, and climates. The Award remains as relevant today as ever before and experiences record levels of interest each year. Last year, more than 140,000 participants earned a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award.
