For Britons of every rank and social station, physical sport has long been a beloved part of life. Both as a nation and individually, the British take great pride in their physical achievements. Whether he excels in such age old British sport as the Fox Hunt or in Tossing the Caber, the well-known sport of the famous Braemar games, the Briton who excels in sport is a recognized hero among his countrymen. One way Great Britain recognizes and rewards recreational achievements among her young people is with the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. In addition to encouraging the development of many other social, mental and physical skills among young Britons and youth from other countries around the world, the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme encourages youth to build fit bodies and alert minds through recreational sports. The painting highlights the recreational division of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. For twenty-five years, the British people have been rewarding young people of exceptional recreational achievements with this award. By encouraging youth to develop physical skills through recreation, the award helps prepare youth to face the challenges of adulthood. The sense of achievement and confidence gained through recreational skill will make youth more fit to enter adulthood and make meaningful contributions to society.

This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood® First Day Cover for the Great Britain 25p Duke of Edinburgh Award -- Recreation stamp issue of August 12, 1981.
