The Junior Award Scheme for Schools (JASS) is an accredited award for young people. By providing a structured programme, JASS aims to support young people through the transition from primary school to lower secondary school. JASS has been designed to be flexible and adaptable to the interests and abilities of individuals to ensure it is achievable by all participants, whilst matching the goals of their Schools Curriculum. There is no set age range for JASS however, because of it's flexibility, JASS is proving particularly popular with Additional Support Needs settings.
JASS is structured into four sections, designed to stretch different aspects of developing confident individuals.
• Adventure: outdoor activity and learning, including team work and problem solvingEach of these sections can be constructed to meet the needs of the individuals or to tie in with local interests or projects.
The JASS award is progressive, with increasing commitment, learning and challenge, though it is possible to start at any level should it be practical. Each JASS award takes the following timescales to complete:

Each of these sections can be constructed to meet the needs of the individuals or to tie in with local interests or projects.
Upon completion of each section, a JASS sectional certificate is awarded to the participant. Once all four sections are complete for a given JASS level,
a JASS certificate and pin badge are awarded to the participant.
There are two ways to participate in JASS, either using the hard copy folder or - for Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels - using our online system, eJASS. The only difference between them is that all data is logged on our online platform for eJASS and in the folder for JASS. Participants still receive sectional certificates as well as the certificate and a pin badge upon successful completion of their full award.
JASS is fully aligned with current educational thinking and in particular with the Curriculum for Excellence and the Outdoor Learning Strategy. Because of this, JASS can be a strong partner in describing and evidencing the new breadth of learning and in providing new levels of challenge to sit alongside the core curriculum. JASS aims to build on the Curriculum for Excellence's main capacities:
Successful Learners 
Confident Individuals 
Effective Contributors 
Responsible Citizens Although JASS was developed in-line with the Curriculum for Excellence, there is no doubt that these core capabilities also fit with a variety of curriculum outcomes worldwide.
We have additional pages dedicated to participants, and schools / organisations which include user guides, leaflets, and frequently asked questions.
