Home Credits

Away Credits

Examples of Service

In addition to independent service, Silver level requires young people to show a level of leadership in their service credits. Silver level recognises a maturity of faith which is expressed in terms of leadership and initiative.

Participants can still serve in groups but take more of a leadership role in their service.

In addition to meeting criteria for Bronze Award, participants should make the best use of their gifts and talents they are called to use in the leading of others for the good of the community. This could involve taking a much more active role in existing parish and school activities.

At Silver level, 20 home credits and 15 away credits are required.
