Have you ever heard of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award? I'm sure they do it in the US & Canada (I hope I'm not being presumptious about your location). It's a very, very highly regarded award here in the UK, especially the Gold Level award. Each level (bronze, silver, gold) consists of sections where you have to gain or improve a specific skill, the sections being Physical, Service and Skill. Each level also requires you to do an expedition in wild country, which gets progressively longer and harder with each level. Thanks to the D.O.E., I've learned Latin, Tennis, improved my musical skills, and volunteered for a variety of organisations and charities. I've also walked hundreds of miles throughout Scotland's most beautiful scenery. Basically, if you want fitness, leadership & team skills, confidence and organisational skills, try the DOE, or anything similar.
