The Cadet programme  - Amalfi Challenge

Older Cadets (from the age of 16 years) can take part in the Amalfi Challenge. Based around the four arms of the St John Ambulance Amalfi Cross, this personal development programme is designed to provide you with a framework to set yourself challenges. You set yourself four challenges (for example, from running a Badger Sett to completing a marathon) within the sections of society, relationships, service and challenge, and complete them in your own time. Once you have completed all twelve challenges you receive the Amalfi Award.
