Badgers
Badgers are the youngest members of St
John Ambulance.
What's it all about?
The aims of Badgers are:
- to provide a friendly and safe place where they
can both learn and have fun, and gain rewards for the activities in
which they take part
- to provide activities that meet young people’s
interests and needs. These activities include working together,
playing games, making things and basic first aid
- to provide opportunities for young people to
help make decisions about the activities in which they take
part
- to encourage young people to develop their
common sense, honesty, self-control, courage and sense of fair
play.
Badgers is about having fun while learning!
