St John Ambulance Cippenham and Burnham Badgers and Cadets

  We are Cippenham and Burnham Badgers and Cadets Divisions.   Badgers are aged between five and ten years old and cadets are aged between ten and eighteen years old.   We learn 'First Aid' as well as other subjects and activities.

  We meet at St Andrew's church on a Thursday evening,   Badgers start at 6:30pm and finish at 7:30pm.   Cadets start straight after and finish at 9pm.

  At the start of Badgers, we fall in, register and then play a game before our main activity.   We cover lots of different topics and activities. These include;

  •  Hungry Badger

  •  Global Badger

  •  Creative Badger

  •  and Eco Badger

  Each subject that is completed, counts towards their 'Super Badger' badge.

  At Cadets, we study various activities and topics including First Aid.   Some other activities include;

  •  Media, (news papers, television and radio)

  •  Animal Welfare

  •  History of St John Ambulance

  •  and Craft

  These activities count towards our Grand Prior award.

  There are many events organised by Berkshire HQ for both cadets and badgers from all over the county.   These are held at different location across the county and vary from training days, to parties and to days out.   There is a weekend Badger county camp held once a year for the badgers to get an idea of camping.   There is also a weeklong camp held for the Cadets once a year.
