| The Cadet Command of Hong Kong
St. John Ambulance Brigade was established in 1948. It's
objective is to train teenagers (aged 12 to 18) in First
Aid, Home Nursing, and encourage them to develop their
interest in social and practical skills such as Road &
Home Safety, Community Care, etc. which are conductive
to their development to becoming good citizens. It is
hoped, too, that the Cadet Region will lay the foundation
for membership of the Ambulance and Nursing Divisions
of the Brigade. |
| At present, all Cadet Divisions are established
in secondary schools. |
 |
| The Cadet activities are multifarious.
Cadets will participate in Leadership Training Programmes
and receive training in other proficiency subjects such
as Fire Fighting, Canoeing, Camping, Life-Saving, Rock
Climbing, Map Reading, Cookery, etc. |
| Community service projects
such as medical check-up for elderlies, hospital visits,
recreation activities for the underprivileged are organized,
so as to allow the cadets to serve the Community. By attachment
to Adult First Aid Squads, First-Aid duties at beaches,
schools, matches, etc. are arranged. Annual activities
such as Passing Out Parades, Enrolment Ceremonies, Competitions
in First Aid & Home Nursing Skills, Annual Inspections
are also organized. |
| On request from the public,
Cadet members of the Brigade will assist charitable associations
in flag selling and organizing community projects. Those
in need of the service may write to the Youth Officer
at least two months in advance. However, since all Cadet
members of the Brigade are secondary school students,
the services are generally confined to duties on weekends,
public and school holidays. Whether the requests will
be considered and approved by the Officers-in-charge of
Cadet Region or not will greatly depend on the duty nature,
date and time, etc. |
| The principals of secondary
schools who are interested to establish a Cadet Division
in their schools may write to: |
