As the young person reaches adulthood, it is important that he possess the skills necessary to pursue a career and a meaningful home life. This is one reason that development of skill in a particular hobby or interest area is encouraged as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme for young people. The painting highlights this particular aspect of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. As the painting suggests, whether the young person pursues a talent or interest in photography, music, art or any of a host of other subjects, by attaining expertise in any field he is made more fit to meet the demands of adult life. Any skill the young person may develop will build his confidence to face new challenges in adulthood. If he has succeeded in learning a skill, he will feel more confident to accept new challenges and set new goals for himself. This process of setting and attaining meaningful goals is basic to lifelong success and is therefore an important habit for the young person to develop early in life. By encouraging the development of skill in leisure interests, the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme helps prepare young people from the United Kingdom, Commonwealth countries and from around the world to face the demands of adulthood.

This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood® First Day Cover for the Great Britain 18p Duke of Edinburgh Award -- Skills stamp issue of August 12, 1981.
