St John Brigade
About
In St John Brigade (SJB), cadets participate in three main components: first aid and life support, home nursing and foot drill. We aim to develop cadets holistically with a strong emphasis on values and character development, as well as leadership. The first aid knowledge that cadets learn goes on to serve them well as a life skill, sparkling an interest in some to pursue medicine or nursing as their career.
To forge stronger ties as a corps, regular bonding sessions and activities are held and cadets are encouraged to participate in the Cadet Proficiency Badge Scheme to support their development beyond SJB.
