We are very proud of our Cadets and their achievements. It is a real honour to meet Her Royal Highness and one that our Cadets undoubtedly deserve

Commissioner Youth, St John Berkshire
During their time with St John the cadets have taken part in
many activities and also qualified as
first aiders, allowing them to attend public events across
the County. Thomas was also part of a group of cadets who were
selected to be first aiders at the Commenwealth
Games in Melbourne in 2006.
Approximately 120 Cadets from across the
country were invited to the Palace to represent St John. Grand
Prior Award winners from each county were invited and Cadets were
nominated by the county Principal Youth Officer for their
outstanding hard work and dedication.
Sharon Johnson, Commissioner Youth for St John
Ambulance Berkshire commented: 'We are very proud
of our cadets and their achievements. It is a
real honour to meet Her Royal Highness and one
that our Cadets undoubtedly deserve for all their hard work'.
