First Aid

With impartiality and diligence, we serve humanity with confidence and pride. With dedication and compassion, we guide our learners to be steadfast in both knowledge and skills. We, as First Aid Specialists, will ignite the passion to help the sick and the suffering, with Kindness, Firmness and Patience!

Our cadets will be required to attend a 3 Day Standard First Aid Course (SFA) conducted by Singapore Red Cross (SRC) or either the National First Aid Council (NFAC) where they will learn how to treat choking, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and more. Afterwards they will attain their  first aid certificates at the end of the three day course if they do pass the exam.

Also, we have participated in annually National First Aid Competition (NFAC) held by Red Cross's NFAC Committe, where we will compete with various schools including some to name, Raffles Institution, Cedar Girls, Compassvale Secondary, Northbrooks Secondary and etc.

In Bronze, Cadets will be able to attend workshops and training(s) to learn how to prepare a 'Go' Bag, Basic Radio Communication (Foundation), Casualty Transportation (Foundation) and etc.

We, as Foot Drill Specialists of the Singapore Red Cross Youth, Pledge that we will uphold the discipline In both bearing and standards. We command with confidence and execute with precision We persevere and overcome adversity as one. We will instruct and inspire!

Footdrill allows one to be disciplined. We will learn how to do basic drills (e.g Falling In, Saluting, Marching, the Theory Of Commanding and etc.) Our CCA also takes part in the annually National Day Parade (NDP) where they will don on their uniforms to take part in the parade.

Outdoor Activities (Foundation)

In the face of challenges, We dare to set new directions and forge new trails into the unknown. With our thirst for adventure, We endeavor to expand our horizons and strive to bring our team to brave all odds. We, the Outdoor Activities Specialists, will embody the spirit of tenacity and discovery. Always ready to share!
