- Service and Supporting the public and youths at our core
Since then, the Brigade has been at the service of Singapore and Singaporeans at various national and community events, and was also involved in many key moments of our nation’s history, including the Second World War, the Bukit Ho Swee fire of 1961, and the collapse of the Hotel New World in 1986.
Today, the Brigade continues to contribute actively to the medical needs of the community through our Cadet programme, as well as our many adult volunteers. You will see us in our familiar black-and-white at National Day Parades, Chingay, F1 Grand Prix, and other major national and community events.
- Adults, Cadets, and Badgers
The St John Brigade is divided into three groups – Adults, Cadets, and Badgers.
Cadets and Badger
Cadets and Badgers are members who have chosen to be part of the St John family as their Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) in Secondary and Primary Schools respectively.
Our Cadet and Badger programme integrates essential First Aid and Home Nursing skills, community service, badge programmes, leadership development, and character-building, based upon the Ministry of Education’s approach of developing 21st-Century Core Competencies through Character and Citizenship Education.
Through St John, our members have grown to become resilient and compassionate leaders who are ready to contribute to their community. We have a particularly strong group of alumni in the healthcare sector, who have continued to serve Singapore as doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals. Many of these healthcare professionals continue to volunteer with St John, sharing their passion with a future generation.
Adults
Adult members are St John members aged 17 years old and above.
St John aims to provide Adult First Aid certificate holders with the opportunity to meet for further ambulance and nursing practice on a regular basis. You will also have the opportunity to receive further training on-the-job at First Aid Public Duties, and render your knowledge to support various national and community events.
Currently, members of the public are only able to join St John through the St John Responder Unit and the Jurong Town Adult Corps. We also run an Adult Corps at ITE College (Central), which is restricted to ITE College (Central) students.
St John Singapore has affiliations with Adult Corps overseas in both Phnom Penh, Cambodia and Batam, Indonesia, as part of our regional outreach programme.
If you are interested to open an Adult Corps in your school, workplace, or community, contact us at enquiry@stjohn.org.sg.
