A focus on first aid, healthcare, leadership and general life skills
Cadets are the largest group within St John Youth. Since the programme is for all young people in school years 7 through 13, cadets are grouped into various levels for training, competitions, events, camps and even social activities. We also have many mixed activities for senior cadets to take the lead and provide role models for junior cadets to aspire to.
So although we cover a lot of ages – don’t panic! Cadets enter levels based on their age and unique needs.
Having fun, discovering new things, building confidence and working together
Penguin Youth Divisions
Penguins meet once a week during the school term at a local division. Meetings can include things such as games, badge work, drill and sometimes special themed nights.
Offsite Activities
Although a lot of the Penguin Programme is based at a local division, there are many activities throughout the year where Penguins can make contact with other divisions.
Activities can include visits, fun days, competitions and camps.
