St John Ambulance Cadets (England)

St John Ambulance Cadets is a youth organisation of St John Ambulance founded in England in 1922 for people aged between 10 and 17 to train them in first aid, social actions, wellbeing, communication and other essential skills. 
, there were 8,071 Cadets in England.
Cadets take part in a variety of activities that consist of providing first aid at community events, learning leadership and training skills.
In 2020, the Cadet program was reviewed in which a new program was launched to reflect a more modern approach for young people. This includes the Grand Prior's Award, leadership courses and the development of the first aid courses provided. The program had been under design since 2017 and was an inclusive process including youth leaders from all four regions of the priory in England, St John Ambulance Wales, cadets from across the four regions and other stakeholders.
Activities.
Cadets can take part in a variety of other activities that are not first aid, and assist adult members of St John Ambulance. Some of them are listed below.
Cadet Code of Chivalry.
As part of their Membership Award, cadets pledge a Code of Chivalry, similar to how Scouts make a Scout Promise when they join. The code originates from the historical origin of St John Ambulance: the Venerable Order of Saint John. While serving God is part of the code, cadets do not need to be Christian or even religious; a secular version is available for those who do not wish to "serve God" in their oath.
Awards.
There are a number of awards that cadets can achieve during their time at St John Ambulance:
Cadet roles.
In 2017‒2018, St John Ambulance reviewed the roles cadets can hold. When the new service delivery uniform (SDU) was introduced, the following role bars were available to achieve with training.
As of 1 January 2018, there are no more Cadet Trainee First Aider courses or Cadet Advanced First Aider courses following a review in mid-2017. Those with the roles still hold their qualifications; the only two clinical roles available are Cadet and Cadet First Aider
Those who already hold a Cadet Advanced First Aider role are permitted to keep this qualification and role bar until they turn 18 years old. After that and assuming they complete a transfer course, which introduces medical drugs and medical gases, they can directly transition to an adult Advanced First Aider.
Cadets have to be 13 to complete their Cadet Operational First Aider Course, allowing them to deliver first aid at events. Cadets and Cadet First Aiders are trained in the use of AEDs.
Rank structure.
The ranking structure for Cadets is as follows; they can only attain the title of non-commissioned officer (NCO).
To be promoted to the rank of Cadet Corporal or Sergeant, they must have completed Cadet Leadership 1 training. For promotion to Leading Cadet, completion of Cadet Leadership 2 is essential. Once the leadership course is complete, they may have an interview with a panel usually consisting of the Unit Manager, Youth Leader, and District Youth Officers; some panels may also include a young person representative.
